Project Afara Data and Links to Photos

Here are the soil and water data we've been collecting and analyzing for the last month. Each table applies to either soil or water data from each of the three locations, Chicago, Detroit and Nigeria.

You can click on these links for photos.  Detroit     Nigeria    Chicago (1)  (2)  (3)   

You can copy and paste these charts into your final reports. Please don't worry about the way the grids turned out on the blog. When you copy and paste, they should turn out alright in your Word document.
