Water quality indicators

In the testing stream water there will be nitrates, phosphates, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, different temperatures, and pH levels.The most important factor to stream testing is the temperature of the water. If the temperature increases the amount of dissolved oxygen decreases. (EPA and Staff, 2012)Phosphates are present in the water through human and animal wastes.

Snyder’s main argument is that quality time is a highly…
