placed into the creek. Once both 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…
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 is important that designing for water is considered Aquatecture is basically incorporating water into architecture be it utilitarian, symbolic, therapeutic, leisure or visual context. In this project there are two considerations on why aquatecture…
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…
breaks free, loud cheerful music is played. Bright lights shine into her eyes forcing her to squint as she leaves through the skylight. As the two await their fate, the ocean is peaceful, and they are shivering with cold. The sky is a beautiful shade of pink, and the moon is giving them their only light. The loud sound of a fishing boat breaks the silence. The two of them begin to cry, as Mr. Stevens and his crew rescue…
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…
Stream Quality Data Analysis Abstract A Stream Quality Data was collected at Tulip Spring, New Jersey through a macroinvertebrate collection that had been used to identify the quality in which this freshwater animals were living. Collection and preservation of such invertebrates help in the determination of its water quality and capacity to tolerate pollution. Also a biotic index calculation was applied in order for the result of our findings giving a polluted water quality. The streams were…
