Question

Could you please don't use your handwriting to answer this question to be easy for me to solve Identify a Nitrogen, Phosphorus, or Nutrient impaired water using the EPA TMDL database and discuss the following items. o Provide a map of the watershed or find a photo specific to the watershed that shows eutrophication o What specific pollutant(s) drive eutrophication within the watershed? o What point source and non-point source polluters contribute to the problem? o How much Nitrogen and/or Phosphorus is allowed on a water shed basis for the point source and non-point source polluters? As an avid outdoorsperson, explain whether you would swim or fish in this water? o

Explanation / Answer

*Specific pollutants that drive eutrophication within the watershed:

i) Phosphorous is often regarded as the main culprit for eutrophication in lakes from sewage pipe.

ii) Nutrient pollution refers to contamination by excessive inputs of nutrients. It is a primary cause of eutrophication of surface water in which excess nutrients usually nitrogen or phosphorous stimulate algal growth.

*Point source and non-point source polluters contribute to Eutrophication

Eutrophication in lakes subjected to point source pollution from sewage pipe.

Agriculture (including live-stock agriculture) is the largest source non-point source pollution.

*Pollution may directly or indirectly harm human/fish, or change the growth of fish, surroundings, killing off sources of food or causing plant or algae overgrowth that starve the fish of oxygen.

For human if they swallow the polluted water while swimming, it may cause dyspepsia /digestive disorder.
