Healthy Water, Healthy People

Turbidity Water Quality Tests of the Yakima RiverBy: Chris Bell, John G. Bell, Reed Benson, Josh Zakar, John C. Bell. IntroductionWater quality tests consist of several indicators, pH, dissolved oxygen, and temperature to mention a few. These indicators are dependent on each other. For example, if water temperature goes up dissolved oxygen goes down. Dissolved oxygen is a measurement of the amount of oxygen available in the water for fish and aquatic life to survive.

    3. Research Parameters Research Question How do the Kettle and San Poil River systems turbidity affect temperature, dissolved oxygen, and pH? Hypothesis Kettle and San Poil River systems turbidity affects its temperature, dissolved oxygen, and pH. Prediction Asthe Kettle and San Poil Riversturbidity increases, their watertemperature will increase, dissolved oxygen will decrease, and pH will increase. As turbidity decreases, water temperature will decrease, dissolved oxygen will increase, and pH will decrease.
