Turbidity

The turbidity reduction assay results showed that the phage LambdaSa2, derived from streptococcal bacteria, demonstrated effective lytic activity in 17 out of 22 of the bacteria strains tested. LambdaSa2 was able to maintain its effectiveness when tested under…

Earth and Environmental Science – Field Report • Statement of purpose: A study was carried out in Orphan School Creek to see how human impacts/activities have affected the area. Orphan School Creek may be a local area but that does not mean it is kept clean and in good shape as many biotic and abiotic features of the environment have been affected by humans. • A clear and detailed definition of the area studied: A number of abiotic features of Orphan School Creek include: - Creek Water -…

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…

Standards for Ph is, 1-6 acidic/ 7 neutral/ 8-14 base. The EPA Standards for Turbidity is, less than 40 JTU. EPA standards are important because with all this information you can determine whether your water is polluted or not. You can also determine whether the water is clean enough to drink if there is no clean water available. The positive results of this test are, Dissolved Oxygen, Calcium, Nitrate-Nitrogen, and Turbidity. These are the only 4 tests that came out positive.…

Our task was to figure out a way to stop, or decrease, a certain situation that is affecting the water quality of a particular body of water in our neighborhood. The body of water that we will be focusing on today, will be the Foxstone Creek in Vienna Virginia. Although there are many different problems that have occurred in this creek, the problem that we noticed that is the most impactful, is the amount of erosion on the creek. Erosion is the process by which the surface of earth is being…

Reflection Paper Being completely undecided in my career path, and since I have taken all of the available chemistry classes, when the opportunity to job shadow a water operator at the Emlenton Water Treatment Plant arose, I took advantage of it. Even with my knowledge in chemistry, I went into the experience knowing only that they use chemicals, such as chlorine, to treat the water from the river. I came out of the experience with a more selective career path and a much greater knowledge and…

The Scientists will test this hypothesis by purchasing a kit to build a turbidimeter, a device that shows the turbidity of, in this case, milk (how curdled the milk is). The Scientists will observe each glass of milk for one week, or 168 hours and the whole time be observing the turbidity of the milk. After a week for each glass of milk, the Scientists will then use the data recorded during the experiment to determine which glass has the most light…

Abiotic factors that affects the distribution and abundance explored were air moisture, leaf litter, light, slope and soil pH. In the aquatic ecosystem, abiotic factors that effect the distribution and abundance was explored through the pH, salinity, turbidity, temperature and dissolved oxygen.…

Engadine Construction Wetlands Introduction The aim of this report is why was Engadine wetlands constructed and are they effective in improving water quality, The wetland is located around -34.066761, 151.016502 The wetlands. The wetlands exist to clean and filter water , also the waste and pollution that comes with the water, the water seeps in, and the bacteria inside the land clears any contaminations, the the vegetation filters the water, which makes it clean, then it flows to the streams…

Current issue in the Great Barrier Reef Great Barrier Reef (GBR) has been in the centre of topic for environmentalist for the past decades as it is the biggest and longest natural coral reef in the world. With thousands of exotic aquaculture species that are exclusive to that region only, it has become one of the heritage national marine parks in the world. However, with the mining boom in Queensland, more ports and industrial activities have been taken places along the coastal regions to boost…
