Topic 6 Water Quality and Water Management What determines water quality? Drinking water should be colorless‚ odorless and flavorless; this means that there are no organisms and sediments in the water‚ but it does not mean that if your drinking water look‚ smells and taste clean‚ that does not mean that there is nothing else it. Water also contains dissolved solids: •Sulfur •Calcium •Magnesium If water contains a lot of dissolved calcium and magnesium it is called hard water

Water quality is determined by three major classes that are biological‚ chemical‚ and physical. The biological class has to do with the organisms that are living in the water and how many organisms that there are. Some of the organisms that live in the water have certain physical and chemical

CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY 1.1 Introduction Water is a very important resource‚ it is one of the most vital natural resources for all life on Earth‚ water is a unique and clear liquid without it life is impossible. Water occurs on earth in 3 physical states; which are solid‚ liquid and gaseous state and in form of rain‚ snow and ice and it forms rivers‚ lakes and seas. Water covers about 71% of the entire earth surface‚ yet despite its abundant deposit it is not readily

The purpose of the study was to determine the quality of the Ottawa River and identifying any human activities that may affect water quality by sampling for benthic invertebrates‚ measuring the water temperature‚ testing for pH‚ turbidity‚ dissolved oxygen‚ examining the odour‚ colour‚ and appearance of the water‚ the amount of grasses‚ shrubs‚ trees‚ and known uses of the waterway. Description: Various human activities that may affect water quality include municipal wastewater‚ urban stormwater

Abstract Water is a finite resource which means that the total amount of water in the planet is only limited. Its supply remains the same and yet human population recently grows resulting to a decrease of available amount of freshwater per person. The relatively small amount of available freshwater elaborates on how critical it is for everyone to help preserve and maintain clean‚ healthy lakes and streams‚ our sources of water. Water is mostly now being wasted because it is under-priced. We do not
