San Dieguito Lagoon
Notes:
Freshwater - 6.5 to 8.5 is a healthy pH
Brackish water - 7.5 to 8.5 is a healthy pH
Urban drool - 4.23 mg of dissolved O2. Conductivity - 0. pH 7.3
Treatment Pond 4 - pH 7.8. Conductivity - 0. Dissolved 02 - 8.08 mg per litre
pH - how acidic or basic water is. Ideal pH for organisms is between 6.0 and 8.5
Nitrate - a nutrient needed for all aquatic plants and animals to grow. When these organisms die, they release nitrates into the aquatic system. High levels of this leads to overgrowth, increased bacteria, and decreased oxygen. Fertilizer, sewage, and runoff all contribute to increased nitrate levels.
Turbidity - the clarity of water
Salinity - salt content of water
Hydrology - study of water
Sheet flow - layer of thin runoff - takes top soil off so plants cannot grow
