Hardness:
|
|
-measures the concentration
of magnesium and calcium ions in the water column
|
|
-high calcium levels can
increase phosphorus sedimentation
|
|
-however, TMP has very soft
water, this is probably due to the bedrock composition
|
|
-one problem with soft water
is that fish and other organisms are more sensitive to toxins, pollution from
a point soure could more greatly affect the orgs inn TMP than in other lakes
|
|
-also more vulnerable to
algal blooms
|
|
According to these chem
results tmp is healthy
