    Abstract: The experiment was done to demonstrate the effect of ADH on the volume and concentration of urine in order to demonstrate the control of ADH over blood plasma osmolarity. Since non-invasive methods were preferred the volume and concentration of urine was used in place of drawing blood. The results that we our anticipating are that ADH levels in the group of subjects that ingested the 6 gm. Of NaCl would increase over time in response to the increased osmolarity of the blood from all

    Groundwater pollution is a prominent problem in most areas of the world. High nitrate concentrations have been identified as one of the main culprits of groundwater pollution. Agriculture is a primary anthropogenic source involved in the spreading and distribution of nitrates in rural areas. China is considered one of the largest in terms of agricultural production. As the population of China increased over time, the recycling of plant nutrients could no longer renew the loss of nutrients from harvesting

    creek. We took physical Measurements like the width, depth, description of substrate and the site. This was done for the upper, middle, and lower transect. and chemical measurements of the streams like measuring pH, temperature, phosphate, nitrite, nitrate, ammonia, dissolved O2, and dissolved solids. We also counted the macro invertebrates we found and then we Identified the ones we found. With the data that we collected, we hope to find out how does the water affect the types of macro invertebrates

    determine whether there has been a change in the overall water quality of the Lake Tarpon Basin, and if so, whether the quality has improved or worsened. The variables that will determine whether the quality has changed are: nutrients (phosphates and nitrates) and dissolved oxygen (DO). The expected changes are lower dissolved oxygen levels (from the already low levels), higher nitrogen levels (from the already high nitrogen levels), and the state qualifications still are not met for nutrients and dissolved

    and Mushi, 2012). Nitrite is formed from nitrate by micro-organisms and bacteria present in soil, water, saliva, and the large intestine of most animals. These micro-organisms are present in high amounts in ruminants such as cows, which poses serious implications on the dairy industry as nitrite poisoning, if nitrate levels are not closely monitored, can lead to the death of large numbers of livestock as well as birth defects in calves. In ruminants, nitrate is reduced to nitrite, and the rumen microbes
