    Many tests performed on the river reflect that the water is relatively clean. State officials over Volusia and Seminole counties have noticed that there is the potential for a water shortage in the next couple years due to population increases. If nothing is done, the ground water in this area will run out. A plan is being proposed to use surface water from the St. Johns River to supplement the ground water. State officials believe they can filter the water from the St. Johns of bacteria and use this water for drinking water. (Ann Givens) The fact that the state is considering using the water in the St. Johns for drinking water shows that the water quality is good. If there were severe algal blooms, the state would not consider trying to filter the water. Many tests performed on the river are in response to the paper mills present on the river. There is one mill in particular addressed on Rice Creek outside of Palatka. The waste water from these paper mills is dumped from pipes into the river. Ten years ago these mills were forced to upgrade their equipment due to a toxin being released called Dioxin. Dioxin is chemical that can cause cancer produced by the chlorine reactions in the mill. The older equipment was believed to be allowing this toxin to flow…

    Collectively, they might talk about the situation as a problem of degradation of the banks right in town, pollution both upstream from agricultural activity and in town storm drain design. The sediments eroding from unstable banks are threatening fishing, including one endangered species of trout. Of course, the discussion would have to include evidence that a problem does indeed exist and development of the conviction that not acting would lead to a bad result for the stream, the town, and the individual stakeholders.…

    The Lower American River Watershed is significant to the locale and beyond, with more than 40 types of local and nonnative fish recorded in the stream, including fall-run Chinook salmon and steelhead. Despite the fact that the stream goes through the profoundly urbanized Sacramento territory, the River is cradled by the 48.2 kilometer long American River buffer, which keeps running from Folsom to the Sacramento Stream intersection close Old Sacramento. Water quality is thought to be great. Areas that makes up the lower American Watershed incorporates Placer, El Dorado, Sutter, and…

    U-High Creek Quality

    • 363 Words
    • 2 Pages

    The water quality of the U-High creek was excellent because it had pollution sensitive micro-invertebrates. However, not all creeks are this way. One example of humans polluting creeks includes farmers’ pesticides and fertilizers that soak through the ground and travel into the water (Lenntech, 1998-2016). These materials hold a lot of phosphorus and nitrogen which causes a surplus of algae. If this occurs, then the water could turn green (causing a low aesthetic value) and also once it breaks down, its’ bacteria will steal away the dissolved oxygen that the fish need to survive. Another example is the runoff of factory waste (Lenntech, 1998-2016). This waste brings toxins that could kill all the organisms and animals that interact with the…
