  1. Mullet River Monitoring Hailey L, Taylor N,Matt U,Tanner L,Jon A

  2. Dissolved Oxygen • Our dissolved oxygen test results were 2mg/ liter and 130.5% saturation. The temperature reading was 25 degrees Celsius.

  3. Ph • Our pH reading was 7 and 8. With it having that reading it has a lot of ammonia in the water it has a very pungent smell and it is caustic and hazardous to us and other living creatures. The drainage pipe that is next to our site is one of the reasons why it is not that healthy where we are.

  4. Phosphates The phosphates in the water was very poor. The reading was 0 because there were too many creatures. There are no extra Acids or manure To create other animals or creatures. This test is really important because it imposes how many species of animals live in the water. All Of the groups in this class has gotten 0 for their phosphates. This is all i have. Hope this information helps you.

  5. Summary of the Mullet River • Tanner: I think the water is unhealthy, I think that because there is a lot of ammonia in the water. The water is a level 7 and 8. • Matthew: The water is sort of unhealthy because it has ammonia in it which is caustic and hazardous to living creatures in and around the water. • Hailey: I think the Mullet river water is very unhealthy because there is type 7 ph which is ammonia and that is very bad because it is hazardous for animals. • Taylor: I think that the river is VERY unhealthy and extremely polluted. When we were doing are testing we found oil spills from the road and garbage in the water. But there is good vegetation for the animals. • Jon: I think that the river is unhealthy because the phosphates are 0and this is very bad.

  6. Source • Matt and Tanner believe the source of ammonia is coming from the drainage pipe next to out site. • Jon also believes the source for phosphates is the soil. • Taylor and I believe the source for dissolved oxygen is the creatures that live in the mullet river.

  7. Solution • Our whole group thinks that we should dredge the whole mullet river and clean the bottom out so it can fill with fresh clean water. We also think we should remove the drainage pipe next to our site so it doesn’t put anymore ammonia into the river.
