treatment consists of filtrating and disinfecting the water. In between each of these three steps‚ we conducted several tests to test for key factors that determined whether or not the water is clean. We tested for pH‚ ammonia concentration‚ turbidity‚ and COD. Turbidity measured suspended particles in the water and the clarity of the water. COD stands for chemical oxygen demand and measures the amount of dissolved oxygen that would be removed from the water to react with pollution. In our end results‚

It is evident from this experiment that the three water samples are all undrinkable. To improve the water quality of the water ways there needs to be less insoluble substances found in the water. The turbidity of the water samples needs to be improved for Waterloo Bay and Bulimba Creek. This can be done by filtering the water. By having non-degradable sediments around the water way the amount of run off entering the water is limited. This would also contribute

things combined together carefully. Abiotic factors include sunlight‚ temperature‚ water‚ turbidity‚ salinity‚ pH‚ nitrides D.O. These factors have a major effect on the biotic factor in the eco system. Turbidity Turbidity is the measurement of the clearness of the water. The major determination that can affect the turbidity of the waterways is human manufacturing and consumption. The level of turbidity will affect the biotic factors in the waterway‚ this can affect the different species and

a) Describe the physico-chemical qualities of water that are important to aquaculturists. Aquaculture can be defined as the high-density production of fish‚ shellfish and plant forms in a controlled environment. Stocking rates for high-density aquaculture are typically thousand fold greater than wild environments. Modern fish culturists employ both open and close systems to raise fish. Open systems‚ such as‚ the raceways are characterized by rapid turnover of water. Closed systems are commonplace

With this experiment‚ information will be gathered about how clean these waters really are by testing pH‚ dissolved oxygen‚ nitrate‚ phosphate‚ coliform bacteria‚ and turbidity‚ which are the key components of water quality.

occurred. The tests used to confirm the fermentation were a gas production test‚ pH test‚ Gram stain‚ and turbidity test. The results showed during the conversion of milk to Kefir there was gas produced‚ a decrease in pH‚ more bacteria present‚ and an increase in absorbency. The results proved that fermentation occurred with three positive confirmatory results from the gas production‚ pH‚ and turbidity tests‚ while the Gram stain test acted as a negative confirmatory test.

Turbidity is the clearness/cloudiness of water when a light is shown through."It is an optical characteristic of water and is an expression of the amount of light that is scattered by material in the water when a light is shined through the water sample"(“Turbidity”). Because the cost of a professional turbidimeter is quite expensive‚ there will be separate tools combined to substitute
