Water Quality

Color

• Water is never truly colorless .
• All water has a slight blue tint to it.
• The white hazy stuff from faucet water is just dissolved oxygen.
• Color in water can either be dissolved or suspended components.
• Highly colored water has significant effects on aquatic life

Dissolved Oxygen

• Dissolved oxygen is a measure of how much oxygen is dissolved in the water.
• Dissolved oxygen is crucial for aquatic life.
• The ratio of oxygen to water molecules is about 10 to 1,000,000
• Rapidly moving water has more dissolved oxygen than non-moving.
• Dissolved oxygen in surface water is used by all forms of aquatic life.

Ph

• PH is a very important measurement in water.
• PH is a measure of how acidic water is.
• The PH of water determines its solubility.
• PH ranges from 0-14, with 7 being neutral.
• PH also determines whether aquatic life can use that water.
