Turbidity
-Turbidity level/JTU measures how clear the
water is
-Water with 20-40(JTU) are able to support
aquatic water the best.
Dissolved Oxygen
-Dissolved Oxygen is the amount of oxygen gas that
has dissolved into a given amount of water
-The unit of measurement for the dissolved oxygen is
parts per million (ppm) or milligrams per litre
(mg/l)

Action Plan
Target Consider:
Based on your findings,what aspect(s) of the
Area(s) environment or people’s quality of life need(s)
for.. improvement.

be made through effective wastewater
treatment, less pollution from industry and
agriculture, and responsible waste management.
Action Plan
Target Consider:
Based on your findings,what aspect(s) of the
Area(s) environment or people’s quality of life need(s)

-Waste Management
Adequate waste management practices are
essential to maintain cleanliness and prevent
pollution in canal areas, through proper waste
disposal systems, recycling, and raising
awareness.
