Introduction: This lab investigates the question‚ what is the water quality of the U-High creek based on micro invertebrates found in the creek? There are many factors that affect the quality of water such as phosphorus and nitrogen levels‚ dissolved oxygen‚ and pH. Phosphorus and nitrogen in water can increase the growth of aquatic plants and algae‚ leading to the decomposition of dead plant material and the removal of dissolved oxygen from water. The total nitrogen concentrations for freshwater should
