III. PROCEDURE:

1. Figures show the water indicators that have been used in testing water quality.
2. Fill the blanks with the correct answer.

TURBIDITY
Turbidity is the measure of _________ a liquid. Turbidity makes
water cloudy or________. The water collected in a bottle will be
used to find out the turbidity, which is measured by and is reported
in ___________________________________(NTU). A clear
green color indicates _____________turbidities, usually less than
10 NTU. During a rainstorm, particles from the surrounding land
are washed into the river making the water a muddy brown color,
indicating water that ______________ turbidity values, usually
than 100-250 NTU.

 
PH
PH is a measure of how ________and _________water is. The range
goes from 0 to 14, with 7 being_______________. PH of less than 7
indicate ___________, whereas a pH of greater than 7 indicates a
_______. pH is really a measure of the relative amount of free hydrogen
and hydroxyl ions in the water. pH is an important indicator of water that
is changing chemically. pH is reported in "__________ units". Each
number represents a 10-fold change in the acidity/basicness of the water.

Dissolved Oxygen

Dissolved oxygen in surface water is used by all forms of aquatic life;

therefore, this constituent typically is measured to assess
the_____________ of lakes and streams. Oxygen enters a stream from the
atmosphere and from groundwater discharge. The contribution
of_________________ from groundwater discharge is significant, however,
only in areas where groundwater is a large component of streamflow, such
as in areas of glacial deposits._______________ is the primary process
affecting the dissolved-oxygen and__________________ relation; water
clarity and strength and duration of sunlight, in turn, affect the rate of
photosynthesis.

Temperature

Temperature governs the kinds of organisms that can live in rivers and
lakes. Temperature is also important because of its influence on
water_____________. The rate of chemical reactions generally
increases at higher temperature. Water,
particularly _________________, with higher temperatures can dissolve
more minerals from the surrounding rock and will therefore have a
higher  ______________conductivity. Warm water holds less
dissolved oxygen than cool water, and may not contain enough
dissolved oxygen for the _______________ of different species of
aquatic life. Some compounds are also more toxic to aquatic life at
____________________ temperatures.
Nitrates
Nitrate is one of the groundwater _________________.
__________ enough concentrations of nitrate in drinking water
can result in a temporary blood disorder in infants called
____________________, commonly called "blue baby
syndrome." Nitrate in groundwater originates primarily from
____________, ____________and manure storage or spreading
operations. However, excess levels of nitrates in water can
create conditions that make it difficult for aquatic insects or
fish to survive. Algae and other plants use nitrates as a source
of______________.

Bio-indicators

Bio-indicators are living ________________ such as plants, planktons,

animals, and microbes, which are utilized to screen the health of the
natural ecosystem in the environment. They are used for assessing
environmental health and biogeographic changes taking place in the
environment.High bio-indicator levels indicates __________________
water quality, while few bio-indicators found indicates
_______________________water quality.

Pollution
With the rapid ________________ in population, urbanization, and
industrialization reduce the quality of Philippine waters, especially in
densely_____________________ areas and regions of industrial and
agricultural activities. The discharge of domestic and industrial
wastewater and agricultural runoff has caused extensive pollution of
the receiving water-bodies. This effluent is in the form of raw sewage,
detergents, fertilizer, heavy metals, chemical products, oils, and even
solid waste. Each of these ___________________ has a different
noxious effect that influences human livelihood and translates into
economic costs.

III. PROCEDURE:

1. Scientist use soil quality indicators to evaluate how well soil functions since soil function often
cannot be directly measured. Measuring soil quality is an exercise in identifying soil properties that
are responsive to management, affect or correlate with environmental outcomes, and are capable of
being precisely measured within certain technical and economic constraints.
2. These are the three main categories of soil indicators: chemical, physical and biological. Typical soil
tests only look at chemical indicators. Soil quality attempts to integrate all three types of indicators.
The categories do not neatly align with the various soil functions, so integration is necessary. The
table below shows the relationship between indicator type and soil function.

Indicator category Related soil function
