The Observation Of Five Years

Consumers will consume oxygen and these will take the oxygen from the lake. This in turn will cause the dissolved oxygen level.

The purpose of this is experiment is to more closely understand the effects of nutrient enrichment on samples of water from Encanto Park Lake and the Rio Salado River. More specifically the concentration of nitrogen, phosphorus, and nitrogen and phosphorus together were altered and the effects this had upon algal growth were then observed. The results indicated that an increase in nitrogen concentration showed minimal

The Klamath River basin has been one the most productive watersheds and lake systems in the world. It houses over one-third of the world’s pintail ducks and dozens of shoebird species. The basin has a plethora of salmon species and some of the largest trout in the world. The basin had four dams that offered hydroelectric power and water to the surrounding areas. This area was used to its full potential and had experienced serious distress to the biodiversity and damage to the aquatic ecosystem. In 2002, the river saw a die-off of over 33,000 adult salmon which really brought attention to the issue.

Therefore, we can consider that the Oak Flat pond compile with our sample plan objective and goal for the above parameters, as an acceptable source of water for the wildlife. But the need for further analysis for other effective parameter such (fecal bacteria, E. coli bacteria, copper, iron, manganese, turbidity, dissolved oxygen) are require for the final decision.

The introducing to any type of pollution, man-made or artificial, can have an outstanding effect to a natural environment. When the word of pollution is thought of, it’s never a positive thought and can do harm to where humans and many different organism lives. There are many different freshwater pollution and each one of having it one effect. One of the organism that live is fresh water is Ankistodemus, a green alga that grows in fresh water pond and lakes. When Sodium chloride (salt) is added to the alga environment what type of effect will it have on its growth? The importance of this experiment to make aware of how pollution have a stern effect on the living things around the Earth. Being alert of this will expression how putting more care on the environment will extend the life span of the Earth. The goal of adding Sodium chloride, the pollutant, to water, that Ankistodemus live in, is for illustration how Sodium chloride will inhibit the growth of Ankistrodesmus algae.

Starting November 3rd, samples were collected from Lake Storey Park in Galesburg, IL. Samples were taken weekly from various locations in the water as to achieve a complete depiction of the entire body of water. The first sample provided evidence that the water was of “Average” quality. The dissolved oxygen was measured 100.6 % saturated by a Vernier Optical Dissolved Oxygen Probe, a fairly normal level for water. Using the Water Quality Value Charts provided by the Georgia Virtual School, the measurement of dissolved oxygen was correlated on the chart with a “Q-Value” of 100. Since the Q-Value was discovered, determining the Subtotal of the test was the next step. To determine the Subtotal, the Q-Value of the given measurement must be multiplied

Another crucial component is the description of the characteristics of a lake is to monitor the quantity of oxygen and carbon dioxide to various depths. There is a reciprocal relation that exists between these two elements when they are compared to the depth of a lake (Figure 2) (Korstad 2017). A lake has the capacity top adhere oxygen by absorption or photosynthesis. The levels high oxygen is necessary to maintain the necessary nutrients inside the water, and at the same time providing a source food to all fishes. It is common to see

The data collected and found while in the trip, can determine who polluted the water is. It was concluded that the water quality is good to excellent. The first graph shows the level of nitrates, phosphates and dissolved oxygen in the water. There was an average of 2.5 ppm of nitrate found, 1.7 ppm of phosphates, and 8.7 ppm of dissolved oxygen. Phosphates and nitrates are harmful to the water and can cause algae blooms, which then creates dead zones. These chemicals come from farms mostly, and run down through the soil, into the water. That is why areas with an abundance of agriculture can sometimes negatively affect their nearby water source. The dissolved oxygen level found was also good. Dissolved oxygen is the gaseous form of oxygen found in water. Without it, animals would not be able to survive underwater. Many factors affect how much dissolved oxygen is in the water, such as temperature, the atmosphere, water movement speed, and plant life in the water. The average temperature of the water was about 69 degrees Fahrenheit and about 20.5 degrees Celsius. Cooler water temperature creates more dissolved oxygen. With more dissolved oxygen, it is easier for animals to survive in the water. Another component of the water that was measured, was turbidity. Turbidity is how far down in the water you would be able to see with your naked eye. If water has a high level as turbidity, it would mean that you could see far down, and the water would be clearer. If it

Abbaspour and Javid (2012) by hydrodynamic model which developed to simulate the condition of Urmia Lake and validated using the 35-yr data of annual precipitation, evaporation, run off, river discharges and water level, showed if very dry

In this paper we are going to analyze the quality of water affected by the parameter. The quality of water is not equal and constant. Water quality is affected by different type of parameters such as Colour, Turbidity, Total dissolved solids, Taste and odour, PH is the physical parameters. Chloride, calcium, magnesium, sulphate, total hardness is the chemical parameters.

Lake Nicaragua is an urban lake found in the developing country of Nicaragua. It is the largest freshwater lake in Central America and is special because it is home to rare freshwater sharks. Its one of the worlds 40 largest lakes and its roots are tectonic. Over thirty different rivers flow into Lake Nicaragua and it is tideless with daily changes in sea level. There are over 30 islands located in the lake, which are home to many fruits, animals and inhabitants. The lake is home to many fisheries that export their fish to places around the world. Unfortunately, the surrounding areas of the lake are experiencing a growth in population and trade so the lake is being affected by water pollution (LakeNet p. 1).

Eutrophication is a serious concern for lakes as it can turn an oligotrophic body of water into a eutrophic body of water, which is dangerous to the ecological diversity.

Ecosystems are dynamic and involve the interaction of living organisms with the components of the environment as a functional unit, by depending on the ecosystem services. These services are critically important in supporting the well-being of many organisms especially humans. The services include regulating services (e.g. climate regulation – carbon sequestration), provisioning services (e.g. food, wood for fuel), cultural services (e.g. ecotourism) and supporting services (e.g. nutrient cycling), however they have been degrading over the years.

Where do you think the main source of the problem lies in terms of the lake’s condition?

During the past few years grave concern is being voiced by people from different walks of life over the deteriorating conditions of Hussain Sagar Lake. As a result of heavy anthropogenic pressures, the lake eco-systems are not only strengthening in its surface becoming poor in quality, posing health hazards to the people living in close proximity to the lake. Over the years the entire eco-system of Hussain Sagar Lake has changed. The water quality has deteriorated considerably during the last three decades. Over the years the lake has become shallow due to siltation and accumulation of plant debris. Many undesirable changes in the structure of biological communities have resulted and some important species have either declined or completely disappeared. Realising the importance of conservation of Hussain Sagar Lake, a project has
