Turbidity

major direct or indirect injury or mortality of manatees within the project area. SMC would like to point out the most important conditions with regards to the project type. This fill project has potential to cause excess turbidity within the habitat for manatees. Turbidity will decrease…

Discussion The aim of this experimental report was to analyse and examine several water quality parameters including dissolved oxygen, water temperature and turbidity, in order to determine the overall state of health within Freshwater creek. Once the results from each parameter were collected, from both locations, it was that found they each had multiple interrelationships between each other as well as several anomalies which could have potentially skewed the final results. It was initially…

pool, the turbidity level, and that the coloration of guppies is sex-linked. The data shows that there are 5 brightly colored male guppies and 41 drab males in pool one, which is the closest to the main stream. Then in pool four, which is on the top of a waterfall, there are 108 brightly colored male guppies and there are 5 drab colored males. Also, in every single pool, there are no brightly colored female guppies, they are all drab. The data also shows that at pool one, the turbidity level is…

particles. With much suspension the plants on the riverbed will not grow as a result of no sunlight as well as upsetting the aquatic animal diversity by making it harder for predators to find prey. With a result of 3.73 we can say that there is no turbidity visible but there is a slight chance of infectious disease transmission as well as possible odour or taste of the water. Possible recommendations could be to ensure less or no industrial waste or sewerage is able to infiltrate the water was…

dissolved solids, hardness, turbidity, acidity, dissolved oxygen and biochemical oxygen demand, heavy metal pollution, eutrophication. A major change in any of these areas can have detrimental affects on marine life and…

The independent variable is the water samples taken. A dependant variable is the variable being measured during the experiment. The dependant variables are the salinity, turbidity, dissolved oxygen, pH, nitrates, phosphates, and the temperature of the water samples obtained from each pond. Factors that are deliberately held constant is the the amount of millilitres gathered from each location, and the method of the testing…

What is in your stream is very important to know. What runs through your streams will eventually run into creeks and then those creeks will run into the lake. In our case we will be testing Cole Camp Creek which runs into the Lake of the Ozarks. So, whatever pollutants that could be in the creek will eventually end up in Lake of the Ozarks. This paper will be telling what those stream pollutants can do to water systems. Nitrates Nitrate is essential for all living things because it is a…

and testing of the water before we add algae to it. We will test the original pH, turbidity, BOD, DO and possibly total solids. We will run these tests according to the lab manual, as cited below. We will record this data and wait until the next lab period to continue to see our algae growth. Lab 2: After one week we will take notice of our algal growth. We will once again test out BOD, DO, pH change and turbidity. Once we have this data we will have enough to start a graph and start a data…

consumes oxygen. This can lead to hypoxia, or low oxygen amounts in a body of water. When hypoxia occurs, many of the organisms living in the body of water do not have enough oxygen to survive and therefore die. Turbidity, or the relative clarity of the water, is also an important parameter. Turbidity is a visible…

classified under the low alkalinity condition which is described as “High-quality water with good productivity,” allowing “Lakes and streams [to] have large concentrations of trout with large specimens”(Boots). The next test we conducted is turbidity, turbidity is the measure of the degree to which water loses its transparency due to the presence of suspended particulates. In our…
