has been the noticeable increase in the level of water pollution along the coast due primarily to the increased raw sewage dumped by Glades County into the Gulf. Ordinarily‚ the Glades County sewer system directs effluent waste through filtration plants before pumping it into the Gulf. Although the Glades County Sanitary District (GCSD) usually is able to handle the county’s sewage‚ during heavy rains the runoff from paved surfaces exceeds sewer capacity and must be diverted past filtration plants

5. Human activity also impacts on waterways. Chemical monitoring and management assists in providing safe water for human use and to protect the habitats of other organisms Identify that water quality can be determined by considering: * concentrations of common ions * total dissolved solids * hardness * turbidity * acidity * dissolved oxygen and biochemical oxygen demand Water quality is commonly defined by its physical‚ chemical‚ biological and aesthetic (appearance and

Because farmers and their animals were now sedentary‚ so was their sewage. Often enough germs from their sewage were swept into the water supply‚ which made it easy for not only humans but also animals to contract diseases and spread them

These particles may be microscopic plankton‚ stirred up sediment or organic materials‚ eroded soil‚ clay‚ silt‚ sand‚ industrial waste‚ or sewage. Bottom sediment may be stirred up by such actions as waves or currents‚ bottom-feeding fish‚ people swimming‚ or wading‚ or storm runoff.

Humans are accredited with many procedures leading to water pollution. Sewage‚ fisheries‚ aquaculture‚ off shore mining‚ global warming‚ and coastal developments all contribute to human produced water pollution. Recently in the news‚ the world was aware of the BP oil spill originated by off shore oil mining. Most of the gulf
