Lets tie it all together

freshwater scarcity
Catawba River Basin- Fresh water ecosystems
Nutrient pollution- Eutrophication & Hypoxia (NO OXYGEN)
Human impact and what we can do

Freshwater in the Catawba river basin

streams
rivers
ponds
lakes
swamps

Scarcity

We know that in some areas we use water faster than it can be replenished. We also know that some of the scarcity is due to the condition of the water

Nutrient pollution

excess nutrients get into the water
traceable pollution is known as point source pollution
untraceable pollution is called nonpoint source pollution

contaminación de nutrientes

el exceso de nutrientes entra en el agua
La contaminación rastreable se conoce como contaminación de fuente puntual.
La contaminación imposible de rastrear se llama contaminación de fuente difusa.

Bio indicators

Indicadores biológicos

Open Ended
