I am posting my question in two parts. can some one answer for me please.

Maps application.

The citizens of Hazard County have become aware of contamination in Mill Stream, a tributary of the Clearwater River. They are concerned that this change in the quality of the river water will affect the river's ecosystems.

You will be sampling water from Mill Stream and three of its tributaries to determine if any of them are the source of the contamination. If the source can be discovered, remediation may be possible so that the water quality can be improved before it enters the Clearwater River.

To begin to determine the source of the contaminant, you must collect samples from several sites along Mill Stream and each of its three tributaries. You will perform field tests on the samples you collect, and you will also collect further samples to be tested in a laboratory.

Before you set out to collect your samples, you should determine the distance you will travel and the easiest way to complete the route. Once you know the length of your route and how long it will take you to collect samples and perform field tests, you can determine the total time it will take you to complete the collection of samples from all 12 sites. You will begin at the campground near Maverick Plateau.
