Water Treatment Sewage treatment plant is a large complex that cleans the wastewater from a community.
Water Treatment
Key water quality indicators: Water Quality Dissolved oxygen Temperature p. H Turbidity Nitrates These tests allow us to monitor the health of the stream and make critical analyses to determine problems and their solutions.
Dissolved Oxygen
Temperature Affects the rate of metabolism and reproductive rates of organisms Most aquatic organisms are cold blooded, meaning they are more sensitive to temperature changes Affected by Seasons Time of day Flow rate Natural release of cold water
p. H How acidic or basic Pure water – 7 Rain water = 5. 6 (carbonic acid) Potable (drinkable) water = 6 -8 Streams = 5 -9 depending on the soil Alkaline (basic) soils can buffer acid rain
Nitrate/Nitrite: from waste, decomposition, fertilizers, pet waste, septic systems. Nutrients Phosphorus: organic bound to plant/animal tissue, inorganic fertilizers, detergent Too many nutrients lead to eutrophication
Measure of cloudiness, caused by Suspended solids/soil Plankton Turbidity Low to moderate levels can be healthy High levels: block sunlight, raise temperature, decrease dissolved oxygen

Floods Explained – Video What causes a flood? What damage does flooding cause?
Drought Video What causes a drought? What damage does a drought cause?
The stupefying simple solution to preventing drought and flooding Video How can we prevent droughts and flooding? A levee is an embankment built to prevent flooding. Can be man made or naturally created on the side of a river.
Lake Layers Benthic zone: The bottom of a lake or body of water. Limnetic zone: Well-lit, open surface waters in a lake, away from shore. Littoral zone: Well-lit, closest to shore, and the warmest. Profundal zone: The deep zone of a lake or pond, below the range with effective light penetration.
Lake Layers
Lentic vs. Lotic Water is still or almost still Examples: Lake & Wetlands Lotic Water is moving from higher to lower elevation. Examples: Creeks, Streams, Rivers
