Actually at the bottom of the page where it shows related subjects, there has some very helpful links for in depth information that might not be in a normal textbook (ie algae blooms, trophic levels etc...)chalker wrote:quizbowl wrote:Is anyone else having trouble finding information about sediment pollution?
This is way outside my knowledge base, but perhaps this will help: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siltation

Re: Water Quality B/C
most likely because we are going to be testing water for its salinity and pollution level, so the law requires goggles as a safety precaution, because while it may only be water, its polluted so it can damage your eyes.Fossil Freak 25 wrote:Does anybody know why we have to wear goggles in WQ?
only two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity, though I'm not sure about the former.

Re: Water Quality B/C
Yes. You must know how to do the other tests and how to read the results, but in competition you will only do Salinity testing.cngu23 wrote:Aren't we only testing the salinity concentrations?nuclear reactor wrote:most likely because we are going to be testing water for its salinity and pollution level, so the law requires goggles as a safety precaution, because while it may only be water, its polluted so it can damage your eyes.Fossil Freak 25 wrote:Does anybody know why we have to wear goggles in WQ?

Yeah that's what I though.
So what do the rules mean by aquatic chemistry?

My question is, the is hardly anywhere on earth that has 10% salt concentrations (except maybe the dead sea) why do we need to test in such high concentrations?

Re: Water Quality B/C
Does anyone know for the invasive species, which specific species of carp we need to know?

Re: Water Quality B/C
Does anyone have any links to any of the extremely old Water Quality tests that are out there?
