Water Quality Questions

1. What is dissolved oxygen (DO)?

The amount of carbon dioxide in water available to aquatic organisms.

The amount of oxygen in water that is available to aquatic organisms.

The amount of nitrogen in water that is available to aquatic organisms.

The amount of suspended particles in water that block light.

2. Which of the following macroinvertebrates is listed as pollution tolerant?

Stonefly

Mayfly

Crayfish

Aquatic worm

3. On the pH scale, what value is considered neutral?

0

5.0

7.0

14

4. Which of the following is listed as a potential effect of long-term temperature increases on aquatic life?

Increased metabolic rate of aquatic organisms.

Decreased susceptibility to predation.

Loss of aquatic species whose survival and breeding are temperature dependent.

Reduced rates of evaporation from surface water.

5. What is turbidity primarily a measure of?

Water temperature.

Water clarity.

Water conductivity.

Water pH.

6. How can increased water temperature negatively impact dissolved oxygen levels?

It increases the ability for water to absorb DO.

It leads to increased photosynthesis by aquatic plants.

It results in decreased DO available to aquatic life.

It causes water to become supersaturated with oxygen.

7. How can increased turbidity lead to reduced dissolved oxygen in a waterbody?

By increasing light penetration, which boosts photosynthesis.

By decreasing heat absorption of the water.

By reducing light penetration, thereby decreasing photosynthesis by aquatic plants.

By directly adding oxygen to the water through suspended particles.

8. A river flows through an area with significant coal mining activity, leading to acid mine drainage reaching the stream. What effect would this likely have on the stream's pH?

pH would increase, becoming more basic.

pH would decrease, becoming more acidic.

pH would remain stable due to natural buffering.

pH would fluctuate wildly between acidic and basic extremes.

9. In a lake during summer stratification, how do temperature and dissolved oxygen levels typically change with increasing depth?

Both temperature and DO generally increase with depth.

Temperature decreases and DO increases with depth.

Temperature increases and DO decreases with depth.

Both temperature and DO generally decrease with depth.

10. What is the state of water when it holds as much dissolved oxygen as expected for its temperature, barometric pressure, and salinity conditions?

Supersaturated

Hypoxic

Saturated

Anoxic

17. What is the primary impact of Aeromonas bacteria on fish?

Causes white spots on skin

Leads to high mortality and lethargy

Results in ulcers and loss of appetite

Causes cotton-like growth on skin

18. Which of the following is NOT a recommended prevention strategy for Columnaris disease?

Maintain good water quality

Increase water temperature

Avoid overcrowding

Improve aeration
