this experiment‚ the question being asked was: “What is the water quality of the U-High stream based on the water invertebrates found?” The purpose of this experiment was to determine the water quality of the U-High creek. The data was obtained by collecting soil‚ algae‚ and water from the U-High creek and identifying the number and types of invertebrates that were found from the samples. The prediction made was that the U-High creek’s water quality was poor based on the first observations of beer

I strongly believe‚ we should have a law when it comes down to water.This drought that California is having is really effective. For example‚ Pete Rodriguez a retired dock worker says‚ “I don’t know how long we can stay here”(Source 2). Meaning because we are running out of water he has to take one and a half hours out of his day to haul water because the well behind his modest rented home went dry.

Even though this water persists in its contamination‚ millions upon millions of people still consume this water for drinking every day. Such occurrences can be shown with the Great Lakes‚ since 35 million people rely on the water for fresh water even though there have been reports of high levels of mercury and PCB (polychlorinated

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

Bottled water: Better than tap? Here we take a better look into the world of bottled water to answer the question: Is bottled water better than tap water?

Three-fourth of Earth ’s surface is covered by water bodies. 97 per cent of this water is present in oceans as salt water and is unfit for human consumption. Fresh water accounts for only about 2.7 per cent. Nearly 70 per cent of this occurs as ice sheets and glaciers n Antarctica and other inaccessible places. Only one per cent of fresh water is available and fit for human use
