Chapter 38, Problem 2COQ
Summary Introduction
To describe: The measures to be implemented to protect the water quality of the stream running through the farm.
Introduction: Maintaining the quality of the water flowing through the farm is important to obtain higher yields of a crop. Poor water quality could result in heavy crop loss. Different methods can be implemented to maintain the quality of water running through the farm. A proper check on the quality of water is also required to obtain desirable yields.

CASE STUDY CONNECTION California’s governor has put you in charge of water policy for the state. Aquifers beneath the state have been overpumped, and many wells have run dry. Agricultural production in the state is down, and farmers are clamoring for you to do something. Meanwhile, more water is needed for burgeoning urban populations in cities such as Los Angeles and San Francisco. What policies would you consider to restore California’s water supply? Would you try to take steps to increase supply, decrease demand, or both? Explain why you would choose such policies.

You are working at the Loy Farm and are tasked with analyzing water supply for agriculture purposes. Answer the following questions: a) You run an experiment to estimate the water flow rate of the drip irrigation system in the Elon High Tunnel greenhouse. You randomly place 10 small 1-quart paint buckets in the soil along the irrigation system. The table below summarizes the water volume collected in the buckets. The irrigation system was running for 2 hrs. Each bucket has a diameter of 11.2 cm, and volume was measured in milliliters (ml). What is the average drip flow in the irrigation system in inches/hr?

As aquatic photosynthesis is light dependent, the dissolved oxygen produced will peak during daylight hours and decline at night. 2. The potability or “drinkability” of tap water varies from place to place. The distillation process ensures that contaminants are left in the boiling vessel, which results in a cleaner and more pure water in the collection vessel. 3. The stable form of oxygen in the Winkler Titration Method in determining the dissolved oxygen in water was magnesium dioxide. The free iodine in the Winkler Titration Method turned the solution into a red color. 4. Tap water is more pure than distilled water. The purity and cleanliness of distilled water remains constant no matter where you get it…arrow_forward
- WATER QUALITY LAB – Quality of Natural Waters – Physical and Chemical Factors Read the background information and answer the Pre-Lab question. BACKGROUND We depend on a clean water supply for drinking, cleaning and sanitation, recreation, manufacturing, and for many other purposes. Public health officials and environmental biologis have developed tests that help monitor the quality of natural waters and locate sources, and potential sources, of water pollution. In this laboratory activity, you will test water samples collected from local waterways and assess them on the basis of several of the characteristics that scientists use to rate the quality of a body of natural water. Temperature One of the most significant characteristics of a body of water is its temperature. Among other things, temperature affects the solubility of oxygen in water, the rate of photosynthesis of aquatic plants, the metabolic rate of aquatic organisms, and the susceptibility of aquatic species to toxins and…arrow_forwardv Question Completion Status: QUESTION 17 What is the ultimate source of energy that allows water to get to the top of very tall trees?
