Water Quality

Updated Sep 15

pH Level (Acidity/Alkalinity)7.0

Measures water acidity or alkalinity on a scale of 0-14. Neutral is 7. Most fish thrive in 6.5-8.5 range.

Escherichia coli (E. coli) Bacteria114.0 MPN/100mL

Common fecal coliform bacteria indicating possible sewage contamination. EPA recreational limit: <126 MPN/100mL.

Water Temperature18.0 °C

Water temperature directly affects fish metabolism and activity. Optimal range varies by species.

No3 (mg/L) (Water Quality Parameter)0.2

No3 (mg/L) - a water quality measurement. Contact local authorities for specific safety guidelines.

Water Temperature18.0 °C

Water temperature directly affects fish metabolism and activity. Optimal range varies by species.

Electrical Conductivity483.0 µS/cm

Measures dissolved ions and minerals in water. Indicates salinity and pollution levels. Freshwater: 100-500 µS/cm.

Ortho P (mg/L) (Water Quality Parameter)0.0

Ortho P (mg/L) - a water quality measurement. Contact local authorities for specific safety guidelines.

Escherichia coli (E. coli) Bacteria114.0 MPN/100mL

Common fecal coliform bacteria indicating possible sewage contamination. EPA recreational limit: <126 MPN/100mL.

Conductivity (µS/cm) (Water Quality Parameter)483.0

Conductivity (µS/cm) - a water quality measurement. Contact local authorities for specific safety guidelines.

Specific Conductance (Electrical Conductivity)483.0 µS/cm

Measures dissolved ions and minerals in water. Indicates salinity and pollution levels. Freshwater: 100-500 µS/cm.
