Based on the above data, we conclude that
Armington Pond is very healthy and condusive to biodiversity and has a high water quality index. We found many organisms
including right handed snails, fresh water clams, and dragon fly larvae that all point to great water quality. Also,
the turbidity and amounts of toxins were low.
