PPT-The Relationship Between Fish, Plants and Water Turbidity

Hunter Moore Shelby Chizek and Zachary Bradley Research Project Introduction Initial hypothesis Water quality driving fish abundance Species rely on each other to keep a balance Whats the issue . Turbidity in Manitoba Water Supplies can also carry more substances into the body, including Drinking turbid water can be especially risky for people with they are immune-compromised and should tak Sources of Turbidity Soil erosion - silt - clay Urban runoff Industrial waste - sewage treatment effluent - particulates Abundant bottom-dwellers - stirring up sediments Organics - microorg Turbidity What is turbidity ? the water is in a lake or river . A ny thing that makes water cloudy will increase turbidity. High turbidity can be caused by silt, mud, algae , plant pieces , mel Soil erosion - silt - clay Urban runoff - road grime - rooftops - parking lots Industrial waste - sewage treatment effluent - particulates Abundant bottom-dwellers - stirring up sediments Org Turbidity is a measure of . water clarity, how much the . material suspended in water. decreases the passage of light. through the water. . It is an optical characteristic of water and is an expression of the amount of light that is scattered by material in the water when a light is shined through the water sample. . Turbidity What is turbidity ? the water is in a lake or river . A ny thing that makes water cloudy will increase turbidity. High turbidity can be caused by silt, mud, algae , plant pieces , mel Freshwater – salinities less than 0.5 ppt.. Saltwater – contains water and organisms found in the ocean at salinities of 30-35 ppt.. Brackish water – organisms from estuaries were freshwater from rivers or streams mix with saltwater. Most are maintained at 24-28 ppt. . Add Name, Date, Block Color in upper right hand corner of . Turbidity. Tab.. Each Tab Should have the following: . Title of Indicator at top of each tab. 1.

What kinds of adaptations make plants and animals well suited to life in rivers, lakes and ponds such as those in the Sackville River watershed?. Description. The Freshwater Biome accounts for one fifth of the area of the Earth and provides half of the drinking . water and one . third of the water used for . irrigation. The . biome consists of inland lakes, streams, brooks, creeks, and rivers--as well as ditches, sloughs, gutters, puddles and canals. Freshwater wetlands include marshes, ponds, and swamps..
