River and lake blog

 What i learned from the river was that it was pretty healthy. When we compared our q-values we saw that on the most part the health of the river system was good. Our Q-value at the start was 13.02 and our finale Q-value is 9.3. Personally i thought that this was going to be a low number, because i thought that the river was unhealthy.  Our project can lower down the amount of Co2 in the air and the water.
    The biggest lake in volume is supperior, while the smallest Erie is the smallest. The most urban lake is Michigan and the least is Superior. The lake with the longest shore is Huron. We can best manage the ecosytems by regulating types of cheicals and other man made materials into the lakes. Two pollutans that pretain to our action project is Co2 and coal smoke from power plants.
   Prelim Questions.
   1. The water goes down the drain.
   2. Runoff is water that does not get abosorbed in the ground. It goes down hills and in urban enviroments  into drains.
   3. It can, I think that it should because it can carry chemicals in it.
   4.Sources of pollutants are human houses.
   5.Point is from one source, while non-point is from a bunch that have the same amount of pollutants added.
   6. A watershed is the water under the ground that is stored.
