Do you realize that Water Quality, save the identification of macroinvertebrates, the building of a salinometer and water remediation, is basically the ecology of estuaries? If not, then you are in the wrong event.
2010: 5th in NYS
2011: 4th in NYS

I suppose that you could also see macroinvertebrates in an ecology test too, since there is some identification of animals or organisms in their stated biome/ecosystem...

I understand that, but water quality relates to just water, while ecology covers a wider range. Still, I see how its related. Ya, quizbowl u r rite, water quality is related to ecology but only in certain topics.

It's just like Rocks and Minerals replacing Fossils. They're both Earth Science ID events, but they're not that similar. There's some overlap (you have to know a little bit about rocks for Fossils), but fossils focuses on organisms while R&M focuses on rocks and minerals.

Water Quality is in a similar situation. It's not quite Ecology; it focuses more on water testing and macroinvertebrates and pollution. But things still overlap, like some basic ecological principles. Events get replaced by events that are different. If they were the same, it wouldn't be much of a replacement.
2009 events:
Fossils: 1st @ reg. 3rd @ states (stupid dinosaurs...) 5th @ nats.
Dynamic: 1st @ reg. 19thish @ states, 18th @ nats
Herpetology (NOT the study of herpes): NA
Enviro Chem: 39th @ states =(
Cell Bio: 9th @ reg. 18th @ nats
Remote: 6th @ states 3rd @ Nats
Ecology: 5th @ Nats

According to chalker, Ecology is not actually being replaced! (yayy! :D )

Does this seem correct?
And yet again the Ecology / Water Quality confusion is perpetuated. As I clearly indicated just a little further back in this thread, Water Quality is the TOPIC for the Ecology event.
I'm not sure whether we'll still need the salinometer, etc. But it appears that discussing water quality in this thread is just as relevant as discussing the tundra and taiga used to be! :)
