Our report talks about our research topic, Human impact on the water quality of Emajõgi. We chose this topic because when we were taking measurements we spotted a construction of a nearby promenade and we wondered how this construction with all of its trash would affect the water quality of Emajõgi. We took different measurements right next to the construction and we took some measurements further down to the river. We thank the other hydrosphere team for providing us with data from upstream, before the construction site. We did not find a lot of papers on this topic so we could not compare our data to the other research papers but we did in fact compare our data to the other hydrosphere team to get a fuller picture of the extent of the impact the construction has on the water quality of Emajõgi. Keywords: environmental problems, water quality, measurements
