    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,…

    The consequences of large factories, chemical laboratories, gas emissions and other forms of destructive pollution is observed in locations around the pollution. The resulting magnitude of the pollution effects the entire world in one way, or another. Concerns for the well-being of living organisms are instigating research to determine the significance of the water pollution. It is through research and administration of laws that humans will acknowledge the importance of reducing water pollution.…

    Background: According to the Millennium Development Goals Report 2012, 783 million people, or 11 per cent of the global population, remain without access to an improved source of drinking water. Also the United Nations has long been addressing the global crisis caused by insufficient water supply to satisfy basic human needs and growing demands on the world’s water resources to meet human, commercial and agricultural needs (un.org). In this experiment water quality and contamination of groundwater was investigated. First, I observed the effects that many pollutants have on groundwater. I predict that in this experiment the oil and vinegar will create the large amount of contamination in the water, while the laundry detergent will just create an aroma smell to it. Considering the smells and color to these ingredients I think that it will cause the water quality to have a bad smell and cause the water to be very cloudy. Once filtering the contaminated water, the water will be clear and purified. Second, I will experiment water treatment and filtering. I predict that once the contaminated water is treated and filtered that it will leave me with less contamination or none at all. Then for the last experiment, I will determine the difference between bottled water and tap water to discover any contamination. I predict that the tap water will be the most contaminated and with the most chemicals in it, while the bottled waters; Dasani and Fiji will be completely filtered and free of any chemicals.…

    Experiments were done on the water quality and the contamination of groundwater. First, I observed the effects that different pollutants had on groundwater. I predicted that the experiments with the oil and vinegar would create the most contaminations to the water. When the laundry detergent were mixed with the groundwater, it created a light green color with a pleasant smell. The second water treatment experiment were about filtering techniques to remove contaminants from water. I predicted to drain the water by removing all the contaminants by using a funnel to purify the water. The last experiment were performed using Dasani, and Fiji bottled water and Tap water to determine the quality of drinking water. I also predicted that tap water would leave the least amount of contaminants and the Fiji bottled water would have the most contaminants.…

    Water pollution is the contamination of water by foreign substances such as chemicals, pesticides, animal wastes, sewage, disease, and organic matter. There are two primary sources of water pollution, point source and non-point source pollution. Point source pollution originates from specific locations, and can bet traced to specific pipes or ditches and is generally waste or effluent from industry or sewage treatment. Non-point source pollution originates from a much broader area and is contributed to by a number of different sites that can be agricultural, mining, logging, natural (rivers scouring banks, fire sites) and urban areas. (According to the Axia College Week Six reading Freshwater Resources and Water Pollution 2007), a description of water pollution.)…
