the variances to be compared to each other and so conclusions can be drawn. Conclusion: Based on the results of the water tests‚ the bodies of water measured in this experiment are all healthy. The average pH level for all the bodies of water was between 7.4 and 8. This is between the ideal range that aquatic environments should be. The pH levels indicate that the bodies of water are healthy. The conductivity of all four sites was between 33‚636.9 S/cm and 36‚850.6 S/cm. The levels of conductivity

Water Analysis Lab Report Purpose: In this lab we will be testing a number of water samples. These water samples come from various water sources. Each of these water samples will undergo four different tests. The four tests include a pH test‚ a conductivity test‚ a total and phenolphthalein and alkalinity test‚ and a total hardness test. This lab requires comprehension of lab material and techniques learned in prior labs (Kippenhan‚ 2012). Procedure: Each

In the article “Houston Flood Waters Are Tainted With Bacteria And Toxins‚ Tests Show” by Sheila Kaplan and Jack Healy‚ flood waters in Houston neighborhoods have been contaminated. Plus‚ the spread of the toxic waters is not clear on how far they have gone‚ but it is hinted that the breaches of several waste plants have made the waters more dangerous. Testing has occurred and has found traces of Escherichia coli which is a fecal contamination. In the Clayton Homes public housing development‚ high

Reflection of the Water Pollution Project The problem with Water pollution today is that people are carelessly polluting and damaging our water supplies at an alarming rate. Though the general public seems to be turning a blind eye to this situation ignorance does not justify the fact that the health of the general public and environment is severely impacted. The Water Pollution group proposes that we educate the community and the children of the possible repercussions of water pollution‚ while also working

2004‚ water supply was available on average for 18 hours each day in the West Zone of Metro Manila and 21 hours in the East Zone. According to their respective websites‚ the utility responsible for water supply in the East Zone of Metro Manila increased 24-hour water from 26% in 1997 to 98% in 2007‚ whereas in the West Zone‚ 42% of the customers had an uninterrupted supply in 2007. In a 2004 sample of 45 water service providers with different management models and sizes‚ the National Water Resources

were water‚ rubbing alcohol‚ and vegetable oil. I discovered that water could hold the most drops and vegetable oil and rubbing alcohol could hold about the same amount of drops. My hypothesis was if I use water then it will hold more drops than vegetable oil. My hypothesis was supported by my data. The average number of drops for water was 93 whereas the average for vegetable oil was only 36. Obviously water held more as the data shows that not one group had more vegetable oil drops then water drops

Nitrite-Nitrogen in Drinking Water Nitrate may be naturally occurring‚ although its presence in drinking water is more often associated with contamination by excessive use of fertilizers (both inorganic and organic)‚ in addition to inappropriate farming practices and sewage. The high nitrate level in drinking water is also associated with the simultaneous presence of bacterial contamination (World Health Organisation‚ 1996). The primary health hazard from drinking water with nitrate-nitrogen occurs
