Science Research Questions! halp pl0x

[S4Sonny]

Got an open book test on Friday, but been struggling to find information for these questions, tried googling every, but nothing comes up.. so.... anyone care to lend a hand? (inb4 That's what she said replies)

So, if someone could post the answer and the link to the answer itself, it would be greatly appreciated!!! ray:


Topic is about Water.


Describe the possible sources of contamination that may enter catchments and explain how water quality in one area can impact on the water quality in other areas.


Discuss types of indicator organism that are found in safe water supplies and those found in polluted water.


Describe the types of tests that are used to monitor and assess local water quality.


Thanks in Advance! :becky:

wtf is wrong with kids these days?
isn't there enough info on the interwebs or something?

When you're a dud like myself in Science.

Sh*t happens. :becky:

Thing is.... I don't write notes or have any of the sheets that were given out.

just put your head to it
with all the info on the interwebs you don't need to put much effort into study anymore!
all the info you need is like smacking you in the head.
Just google water contamination and protecting the environment, or some sh!t like that and see what you come up with

My memory of this stuff from school is ****. Sorry.

You can use cooks river as an example.

Whatever happens in one part of the river, it would ruin the water for the rest of the river. You should also be aware that the river flows through a thousand suburbs and several local governments. So if one local gov. is lazy, the rest have to suffer with a ****ty polluted river.

How about that?

Cheers fellas!

Got some points down, not a lot, but hey, it's a start. :becky:


F*ck I hate sh*tty science.

lol who does science
losers

try maths, better

Sources of contamination: factories, plants, illegal dumping etc.
Impact on other areas: river flows and doesn't remain in the same place + drainage systems

Indicator organisms: E. Coli, cryptosporidium (at least I think they are). We get them in dams etc. which affect the water supply. Has happened many times over the years. The most recent I can think of was when it affected public pools in western Sydney last year or the year before.

Tests: I'm not sure, but you'll be able to find something about that on the net, surely...

By the way, I didn't do Science, so I wouldn't take my word for things. Just general knowledge.

Cheers, Slip! :becky:

Filled up Question 1.


I'll go scout around for more info on;


Discuss types of indicator organism that are found in safe water supplies and those found in polluted water

Describe the types of tests that are used to monitor and assess local water quality

Giardia is also another parasite that springs to mind. They also pollute water supplies.

 

[pillow]

One of the biggest contamination problems we have on our work site of the new dam we're building is vehicles going down the coast or to other areas and then coming back into our catchment area and not going through the wash down bays

Also illiegal fishing/release of foreign species etc. Redfin **** everything up.

 

[bLaQDoG..]

Queensland floods is a good example of how it gets contaminated.

Jeez, mate. This is the laziest research effort ever...

2 mins of Googling finds loads:
