My hypothesis, if we test the water from the Conodoguinet Creek for signs of pollution, then the results would be negative for the pollution because the water appears clear at most parts of the river, is somewhat correct. Based on our findings, the degrees of pollution of the Conodoguinet Creek are very low. The phosphate levels, phosphate meaning a salt or ester of phosphoric acid (mineral acid), are at most 1. Nitrate is a salt or ester of nitric acid. The levels of nitrate are also very low,…

The water quality of the U-High creek was excellent. Although, not all water quality is excellent due to pollution. One type of pollution is pesticides and fertilizer. When fertilizer and pesticides run off into a creek it causes algae to grow rapidly. Once the algae grows rapidly it can block the sunlight from being able to reach the bottom. Which will kill plants if they do not receive the sunlight. These algae also use up all the oxygen in the water which ends up killing most animals…

Howard County’s Watersheds and Waterways One of the earth’s most vital resources is water, as it serves as a necessary fluid for all living organisms and makes up the majority of the planet. The majority of this water is found in the world’s oceans, which then flows inland through watersheds, areas of land that drain into bodies of water, and waterways, such as rivers, streams and, lakes, underground and marshlands. Watersheds and waterways, therefore, provide a crucial function in…
