Abstract
Pollution through sewage water contamination, industrial fertilizer, and coal burning power plants can lead to degradation of water quality.1 Eutrophication, the ecosystem response as a result of the addition of excess nutrients, will further degrade water quality by depleting the oxygen in water. To measure for eutrophic conditions, nutrient levels are measured as well as the dissolved oxygen content and the presence of specific algal species. This presentation highlights the experimental design and preliminary results of the project. Livingston, Robert J. Eutrophication Processes In Coastal Systems. New York: CRC, 2001. Print.1
