The first step I would take in assessing the water quality of a body of water would be to check the nitrate and ammonia, because these could be very harmful to the fish living within the waters and could cause a problem and be solved if necessary to avoid fish death. Then I would test the dissolved oxygen, to make sure the dissolved oxygen is at a level that will sustain the fish, and then I would test the temperature to make sure it is not to hot or cold for the fish. I would have to be careful of the organisms living on and near the water to avoid disrupting their habitat or prohibiting them from doing there normal activities within the ecosystem for my own tests.
