Chlorophyll is a key biochemical component in the molecular apparatus that is responsible for photosynthesis the critical process in which the energy from sunlight is used to produce lifesustaining oxygen In the photosynthetic reaction below carbon The amount of chlorophyll in water is usually highest in summer and lowest in winter because of course i t is not easy for plants to grow in winter There are many human activities that affect chlorophyll in water such as sewage inputs and destructio GROUNDWATER INFORMATION SHEET Salinity Salinity is a measure of the amount of dissolved particles and ions in water. There are several different ways to measure salinity; the two most frequently use The He. '. eia wetlands were originally used for cultivation of taro, a staple crop in Hawai. '. i, and rice. However with rapid development of the Kane’ohe area in the 1950s, the taro and rice patches slowly fell into disuse and are now degraded and taken over by invasive species.

Mercury has an affect on everything. Between soil on land, and sediment in water, sediment contains more mercury from being in the contaminated water.  Mercury has a huge effect on organisms. When mercury from power plants goes into the air, the mercury falls from the clouds when it rains, and lands in water, on the ground, and pollutes everything. Mercury affects how quickly organisms move, and makes them less tolerant to diseases, or harmful things. Mercury affects many different systems throughout the organism's body. (Mercury and health). Generally, salinity is defined as the ‘the total amount of solid material in grains contained in one kilogram of sea water and is expressed as part per thousands (%o) . e.g. . 30%o (means 30 grams of salt in 1000 grams of sea water). .
