Contaminated (Dirty) water from a fertilizer production plant is leaking into the ocean. This water is adding nutrients (from the fertilizer) such as phosphorus and nitrogen into the water. Which of the following is a valid concern that biologists should have regarding waste
water and what is the best solution to this concern?
A Concern: The nutrients in the water will kill the plants in the ocean.
Solution: The water should be treated (cleaned) before it enters the ocean
B. Concern: The nutrients in the water will cause an algal bloom (photosynthetic algae will grow quickly)
Solution: Allow more fishing so that there will be less fish eating the plants/algae
C. Concern: The nutrients in the water will cause an algal bloom (photosynthetic algae will grow quickly)
Solution: The water should be treated (cleaned) before it enters the ocean
O D. Concern: The nutrients in the water will kill the plants in the ocean
Solution: Allow more fishing so that there will be less fish eating the plants/algae

Where does all the water go? according to the environmental protection agency (epa), in a typical wetland environment, 39% of the water is outflow; 46% is seepage; 7% evaporates; and 8% remains as water volume in the ecosystem (reference: united states environmental protection agency case studies report 832-r-93-005). chloride compounds as residuals from residential areas are a problem for wetlands. suppose that in a particular wetland environment the following concentrations (mg/l) of chloride compounds were found: outflow, 60.4; seepage, 73.7; remaining due to evaporation, 26.4; in the water volume, 46.8. (a) compute the weighted average of chlorine compound concentration (mg/l) for this ecological system. (round your answer to one decimal place.) mg/l (b) suppose the epa has established an average chlorine compound concentration target of no more than 58 mg/l. does this wetlands system meet the target standard for chlorine compound concentration? yes. the average chlorine compound concentration (mg/l) is too high. yes. the average chlorine compound concentration (mg/l) is lower than the target. no. the average chlorine compound concentration (mg/l) is lower than the target. no. the average chlorine compound concentration (mg/l) is too high.
