Since the industrial revolution, water contamination has become such a great issue nowadays, since industrialization, rivers in Taiwan was polluted by new-build factories and agriculture waste water. News also reported that accidental ingestion cause the pathological change on human and organism. During the class, we learned that metal ion acting on aquerous solution affecting the conductivity on it. Thus, we wants to investigate the conductivity, temperature, and PH of river water, to probe the relatively of data above.



Comments

I like your project. I really like you using conductivity, temperature, and pH. This has given me good ideas to further explore the creek by my house. I looked at macroinvertebrates. Which macroinvertebrates lived in "my" creek also gave me an indication of the quality of the water even though that was not what I was looking for. Thanks for giving me more ideas!
