SAN JOAQUIN R BL FRIANT CA Nitrate Contamination

Plan

Topic

Background of the Problem

Data

Methodology

Expected Results

Topic “Water contamination San Joaquin River”(Nitrate in Water)

Nitrate Levels are generally very low less than 10mg/L.

Nitrogen fertilizers are applied extensively in agriculture to increase crop production.

Land use also affects the Nitrogen Levels in water

Nitrogen will travel to groundwater as nitrate unless it is used by plants, released into the atmosphere, or washed out in overland runoff.

Nitrate are effectively everywhere agricultural lands, natural lands, urban areas with leaky sewer lines, septic leach fields, and wastewater percolation basins.

Location

Background of the Problem

Nitrate(NO3-) is developed when Nitrogen and oxygen are mixed

Water contamination is one of the valleys biggest problems

Nitrate in water is dangerous to humans specially babies

Data

Data on this project will be collected from:

“USGS.gov”

Water bound/division –Fresno city hall

Methodology

Researched What would affect the Nitrogen Levels in water

Gathered the data needed

Graphed Concentration of total Nitrate through time.

Graphed Gage height Vs. Time

Graphed waterfall Vs. Time

Graphed stream flow Vs. Time

Precipitation Vs. Time

Nitrogen Vs. Time

Streamflow Vs. Years

Flowrate

Gage Height

Summary

Nitrate was introduced as a problem to the community

Some facts about Nitrate and where it is located has been introduced
