    (Johnson’s Seagrass Recovery Team, 12). The objective of this research is to determine whether or not Johnson’s seagrass endangerment is correlated to the amount of detrimental pollutants that humans are putting in aquatic ecosystems such as excess nitrates and oil from dredging. The critical prediction in this experiment is that as the concentration of a pollutant in the water Johnson’s seagrass grows in increases, the amount of growth decreases over time. The dry weight of the plant over time would

    However, the amount of nitrate leached from the root is dependent on how it is transported and transformed on the subsurface. According to Knowles (1982) dentrification process of nitrates reduces/attenuate flow of nitrates from root zone to water catchment (rivers and lakes). This finding were later supported by Rivett el., 2008, where he argued that dentrification process minimizes nitrate influx from areas of high concentration beneath the water table

    Discussion: All of our water samples were collected from different areas. Sample 1 was collected from a home in Fostoria Ohio that has well water. Sample 2 was taken from Honors Academic Village here on campus. Sample 3 was taken from a home in Haskins Ohio that receives their water from the city of Bowling Green Ohio. Sample 4 was also taken from campus, but from a drinking fountain in Bowman Oddy Laboratories. The EPA set a secondary standard for pH, meaning it is not mandatory (EPA 2017b).

    important physico- chemical and biological parameters were measured to know the present scenario of the lake. Among physico- chemical parameters the water temperature, transparency, total dissolved solids, dissolved oxygen, total alkalinity, pH, nitrate and phosphate were taken into consideration while in biotic factors, the qualitative and quantitative estimation of phytoplankton, zooplankton and fishes was made. The water temperature varied from 10.0 0C in January, 2007 to 23.4 0C in June, 2011
