Effects of water pollution. The water pollution is very harmful to humans‚ animals and water life. The effects can be catastrophic‚ depending on the kind of chemicals‚ concentrations of the pollutants and where there are polluted. Below‚ we shall see a summary of the effects of water pollution. The effects of water pollution are varied and depend on what chemicals are dumped and in what locations. Many water bodies near urban areas (cities and towns) are highly polluted. This is the result

Relationship between algal cover and water chemistry in rockpools Ahmad Mukhris Ahmad Mahadzir ABSTARCT Intertidal rockpool is one of the harshest environment in marine ecosystem. Most of the organisms living in it has to have adaptions to survive in harsh conditions‚ especially algal. A research was done to see if abiotic factors such as temperature‚ dissolved oxygen‚ temperature and pH value could have a significant correlation with total percentage of algal cover. Initial hypothesis was

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

I think that phytoplankton are more indicative of oligotrophic lakes‚ where-as zooplankton are more indicative of eutrophic lakes. I think this because‚ since phytoplankton are capable of producing their own energy‚ they don’t need the nutrients that eutrophic lakes offer‚ and they would
