Introduction: Urban areas contribute pollutants that wash off of areas that are not native to the area (Sanders, et. Al. 2001). These pollutants caused by urban areas contribute the deterioration of water quality in stream and runs which make up a significant part of the bodies of water in the state of Ohio. Water quality is crucial for the fish and macroinvertebrates species that can sustain a community in that specific body of water, any change in this quality can change the entire diversity…

the conductivity value and the temperature reached a steady value, the data was recorded, and the conductivity meter was removed and put away. The nitrate concentration was measured in two steps. The first step was to rinse out the sample vials with stream water, and then collect 45 ± 0.1 mL…

Title: Aquatecture Background: A third of the earth is covered in water, and most of the world’s population lives close to large bodies of water, including the Philippines which is made up of islands. Thus encouraging naval architecture and stilt designs Water has been important in helping create architecture, from the people who lived by the two rivers; Tigris and Euphrates to the people of Dubai who are living on artificial islands today. Since we highly depend on, use and live with water, it…

The answer, thousands of years, in “Egyptian artwork from 2000 B.C. shows people fishing” ( Hopkins 6). It is surprising, yet understandable knowing that even ancient people fished. It would of been an easy source of food. The lakes, rivers, streams, etc. were all full of a diverse population of fish, which would of made fish an easy meal to catch and eat. They were the first people to begin fishing so the population of the fishing in the waters would nothing to stop them from growing at a…

water. One way humans can pollute water is when farmers put pesticides and fertilizers on their crops, which contain harmful chemicals like phosphates and Nitrates. When it rains, the pesticides get washed away through the soil and end up in rivers, streams, and creeks, therefore polluting that body of water. If large amounts of pesticides and fertilizers end up in these bodies of water, the amount of these harmful chemicals grows substantially. Algae uses these substances to grow rapidly. When…

The formation of Mississippi Deltaic Plain (MDP) requires comprehensive work between the river and multiple coastal scales, such as temperature and space. It is very important to restore the MDP not only because it helps to understand the details that are needed to ensure the sustainability of the delta system, but it also possesses the potential to mitigate future damage from climate change to coastal ecosystem. The contribution of riverine inputs increase accretion and bulk density, benefit…

In the opening scene, Scoot played by Mary Kate Olsen is a fourteen year old girl, that is learning how to be a deep water sailor. She is a very pretty girl and only five feet tall but very strong. Sully, Scoot’s older brother played by Zac Efron who. Scoot and Sully are on a sailboat off the coast off Baja California. The sky is clear, and the sun's rays danced across the water. Sully was teaching Scoot to be a good deep water sailor. Sully sent Scoot, who didn’t want to into the cabin to make…

Biology Field Study Draft Part A Bulimba Creek is a perennial stream located in the eastern and south-eastern areas of Brisbane (Committee, 2016). The creek covers an area of 122 square kilometres and runs through 20 of Brisbane’s southern and eastern suburbs as it makes its way towards the Brisbane River (Committee, 2016). As a result of the creek covering such a large area, Bulimba Creek is a very important part of Brisbane’s ecosystem and society. Although Bulimba Creek is a part of…

as habitat type, channel type, temperature, and flow rate can assess the quality. Chemical predictors such as pH, dissolved oxygen, and turbidity can also assess the quality of a stream. Thirdly, the biological predictors, such as macroinvertebrates, can assess stream quality. Macroinvertebrates can be used to assess stream water quality because they determine how polluted water is. Some are tolerant to pollution and can live in it, and there’s others that are intolerant and cannot live in…

have never spent time studying stream structure or ecology are likely to incorrectly assume that any stream is, for the most part, just like any other stream. However, this is a dangerous misconception that is not at all correct. The truth is that streams and rivers provide a huge diversity of food, prey, and shelter along their length. This diversity can be explained by the River Continuum Concept and stems from the many different and highly variable physical stream structures and parameters…
