✔✔Capabilities of deployment untreated water sampling kit - ✔✔Ph
Chlorine
Organic contaminants
Inorganic contaminants
Radiological contaminants
Pesticide/herbicide/insecticide/fungicide
Metals
VOC/SVOC
✔✔Limitations of deployment untreated water sampling kits - ✔✔Bacteriological
analysis
USAPHC dependency for analysis
✔✔Characteristics of stream survey
Check for distance of...miles upstream - ✔✔2
✔✔Characteristics of stream survey
Check around - ✔✔Entire lake or pond for sources of pollution and contamination
✔✔Characteristics of stream survey
If sourced of contamination do exist - ✔✔Do not located water purification points in that
landfill
✔✔Characteristics of stream survey
Potential sources of pollution - ✔✔Landfills
Agricultural and livestock raw wastes
Industrial and domestic sewage discharges
POL storage and distribution sites
Overloading (flooding)
✔✔Characteristics of stream survey
Conduct following tests on site for each proposed purification site - ✔✔Temperature
Turbidity
Total dissolved solid
pH
✔✔Characteristics of stream survey
Look for evidence of contamination - ✔✔Dead fish or veggies
Excessive algae growth
Oil slicks
Sludge deposits
, ✔✔For deployment untreated water sampling kit, verify the date on the blank.
You must use and return samples within...months of created date - ✔✔6 months
✔✔Pollution types
Indicators - ✔✔Offensive odors
Unsightliness of floating solids
Turbidity and color by dissolved and suspended matter
✔✔Pollution types
The ability of water to neutralize these effects is determined by it... - ✔✔Volume and
velocity
✔✔Chemical detriments - ✔✔Include the depletion of oxygen in the water by the
biochemical oxidation of organic matter
destruction of plants and fish life result
Render unsuitable as a water source
✔✔Bacterial pollution - ✔✔Coliforms and fecal streptococci are used as indicators of
possible sewage contamination because they are commonly found in human and
animal feces
✔✔Purification zones
Zone of pollution - ✔✔Carbonaceous matter is oxidize
Immediate increase in biochemical oxygen demand determination
Immediate increase in oxygen
✔✔Purification zones
Zone of degradation - ✔✔Pollution recently introduced
High turbidity
Dissolved oxygen reduced to less than half
Worms snails and sewage fungi increase
Fish life is coarse
Algae and fish life decline
✔✔Purification zones
Zone of active decomposition - ✔✔Waste products are decomposed and consumed by
larger organisms to sustain life
Low DO
Scum floating
Water is darker and grayish
No fish present
Anaerobes predominate
