Explain why each method was selected. What does each method measure? What would the results tell if they are high and if they are low? Example: What constitutes a high TKN reading on the lake water? How would a high TKN reading be interpreted and what could be a possible source of that high reading?

1. Define the experiment objectives (do not quote or just reword the problem statement). How do you plan on proceeding? What will be the steps taken and what happens at each step for you to proceed to the next?

2. Research and show/discuss relevant case studies. How does each case study tie in to the current problem? Case studies are to come from the contiguous 48 states.

6. Discuss sampling protocol. Statistically, what is the required number of data points?
