Could anybody tell me if prior experience from Dp (fresh waters) would help for this event?

I guess it kinda helps with lakes maybe but it was more about formations and not the quality of the water in DP. But when I did them together they were nice to study because they complimented each other.

Generally I'd say that Dynamic covers maybe 35% of the concepts at the most. Awesome aquifers was more useful because yes, pollution was a major topic. Also water quality includes organisms like indicator species (if that's what they're called, I may be wrong).

Do you mean macroinvertebrates? There are a lot of those... So. Much. To Memorize.

I've never seen anything besides a picture identification for the macroinvertebrates yet.
