Water Quality Parameters: Temperature
Temperature is another physical parameter of water that refers to how cold or warm the stream is. In water quality monitoring and scientific field research, temperature is measured in degrees Celsius. Celsius temperature data can be converted to Fahrenheit by multiplying the Celsius reading by 9/5 and adding 32. The majority of trout streams in […]
Water Quality Parameters: Turbidity
Turbidity is a physical parameter that determines the cloudiness or clarity of water. It is measured in NTUs or nephalometric turbidity units. Water with noticeable or measurable turbidity is generally unfit for drinking (the drinking water quality standard for turbidity is 1 NTU) and excessive levels can block light from reaching aquatic plants, increase water […]
