Little River Flow Shoals Case Analysis
Analysis Questions:
1. What does the stream look like? Why did you choose the particular stream for the lab? The steam was high. Very high yes, I choose my local Ware Shoals.
2. What waterways are upstream that contribute flow to the stream (watershed)? The Little River flows into the Saluda from the north in Newberry County.
3. What is the land use? Roughly what percentage is forest or natural grass land? How much is urban? Agricultural? Ware Shoals is like a small town like Abbevile, SC. The population was 2,171. The lands there is about 4.015 miles squared. There is b it of agricultural there because it is a small town.
4. What are the factors that affect water quality of the stream? Are there industrial discharges directly to the

    The field trip to the Conodoguinet creek taught me a lot about water pollution. The results of the water we tested showed positive. On the scale the numbers shown below seven so the creek is not very polluted. This means the phosphates and nitrates are not high in the creek so the neutralise isn’t hurting anything. We saw some algae that was eutrophicating the richness of the pollution. The one thing our group did not see are crustaceans because the creek was fresh water. It was fun to investigate the waterlot in the conodoguinet…

    Tables 1 and 3 shows the measurements of the 10-meter stretch of Bear Creek that includes a pool and a riffle. The first table also shows the recorded time and weather in which our class collected the data during that particular day. The upper, middle, and lower transects are measured using meters. Each of the transects are first measured by width and then by depth on the: Left edge, mid-stream, and right edge. Then there is description on the substate and the site on both the upper and middle transect.…

    The nitrite count was .90 ppm, and nitrate count is .05 ppm. The conductivity was 210 while the turbidity was 21 inches. The pH for the creek was 7.8 and the water hardness was at 120 ppm. The alkalinity, the total chlorine and free chlorine were all at zero ppms. These results were not very good from the pollution aspect. All of these show that my hypothesis was not right about the site that we survey.…

    In this experiment, the question being asked was: “What is the water quality of the U-High stream based on the water invertebrates found?” The purpose of this experiment was to determine the water quality of the U-High creek. The data was obtained by collecting soil, algae, and water from the U-High creek and identifying the number and types of invertebrates that were found from the samples. The prediction made was that the U-High creek’s water quality was poor based on the first observations of beer cans and other litter found near it, but the original hypothesis of the water quality being poor is rejected. There were three types of invertebrates found: pollution sensitive, pollution moderate tolerance, and pollution tolerance. Each of these groups resulted in having six different species found in the U-High creek. The pollution sensitive species included caddisflies, riffle beetles, stoneflies, mayflies, snipe larvae, and water penny larvae. The pollution moderate tolerance species included cranefly larvae, dragonfly…

    According to the U.S EPA, a watershed is the area of land where all of the water that is under it or drains off of it goes into the same place. On our trip we were able to conduct some experiments on the water. Our group did an experiment on the pH of the river water. The pH was around 7-7.5, which according to the scale is neutral. This number means that the pH of the river water is close to the pH of tap water, but we still probably shouldn’t drink the river water without filtering it first. Another experiment we did in class after the field trip was to calculate the Biotic Index Rating of the river to figure out how polluted the water was. In order to do this we took the number of a certain species living in the water and multiplied that amount by their tolerance level (how much the species can stand pollution). That product was our Biotic Index Value. Next we divided the Biotic Index Value by the total number of organisms. This gave us our Biotic Index Rating, which for the Nashua River ( a tributary of the Merrimack River) was about 5.97. According to the scale given meant that the water quality was good, but might be slightly impaired. I went on this similar field trip in fifth grade, where I did similar experiments . I’m glad I got to go again, because this time the experiments and explanations were much deeper, and my experience out on the river was much more…

    We went to the Conodoguinet Creek to test the pollution levels of the creek. My hypothesis was If we check the pollution levels in the water, then we will find out that the water isn’t very polluted. You may be wondering, what are some of the causes of pollution? Well, the velocity of the water has a lot to do with the health. When the velocity of the water is faster, everything will be moving around more and there will more more dissolved oxygens. the mud and sediments won’t just stay there and it will just keep on moving so . Well, there are two main causes of pollution in the Conodoguinet creek, acidic rain and eutrophication. Eutrophication is the amount of nutrients in the water and it can be caused by runoff from land, sewage plants,…
