  2. Turbidity The turbidity is zero feet, the secci disk did not disappear in the water.

  3. Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) How we use biological oxygen demand of the water is by having a kit for it which consists of Chemits, which is used to measure the BOD. We get the water from the river, and then we put that water in a little glass, in which we break glass tubes in order to check the BOD. The glass tubes are broken, and the color of the liquid that is inside of the tubes turns a shade of blue.

  4. BOD Test Results The BOD of the river was at 97% saturated, at the beginning, and because the water was 9 degrees Celsius, and the Ph balance was 7. So this measurement is a great measurement for a river, or stream.

  5. Total solids How we use total solids is to determine the quality measurement of the water. There are two ways to do total solids: 1:dissloved solids and 2: suspended solids. The total solids in area one was about .6 grams, the mL was at 100. The ending result was 6,000 mg/liter.

  6. Summary of The River Matt: The river is shallow, but healthy and that’s what is important. Even though the turbidity test was inaccurate. The organisms we point to a healthy river. Sage: The river is healthy, because the animals were mostly tolerant, or semi-tolerant that were found were key aspects of a healthy river. Plus, the saturation was 97% which is a good reading, and the Ph was 7 which is perfect. Alec: The river is very healthy in the first few yards out in the water because of the semi-friendly organisms. Its total solids is around 6,000mg/liters.

  7. Sources BOD/Sage: Saturation of water in the river is the most possible amount of saturation in a body of water, under those specified conditions. total solids/alec: total solids is the process of suspended and dissolved solids in the water. Turbidity/Matt: It was shown in the rusults

  8. Solution Option #1: Dredging, this would work, but it would cost a lot of money, on the other hand… it costs a lot of money to do this. Last Resort: Blow up the dam, I am not sure this would work, but it could work without spending a lot of money to do.
