Water Quality

Updated May 14

pH Level (Acidity/Alkalinity)6.7

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

Dissolved Oxygen (DO)6.3 mg/L

Amount of oxygen dissolved in water. Essential for fish survival. 6+ mg/L is ideal for most fish species.

Tn (mg/L) (Water Quality Parameter)0.6

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

Tp (mg/L) (Water Quality Parameter)0.1

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

Turbidity (Water Clarity)29.0 NTU

Measures water cloudiness caused by suspended particles. Lower values indicate clearer water. <25 NTU is good.

Electrical Conductivity105.0 µS/cm

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

Enterococcus Bacteria52.0 CFU/100mL

Fecal indicator bacteria found in intestines. Used to assess water safety for swimming. EPA limit: <35 CFU/100mL.

Turbidity (Water Clarity)29.0 NTU

Measures water cloudiness caused by suspended particles. Lower values indicate clearer water. <25 NTU is good.

Dissolved Oxygen (DO)6.3 mg/L

Amount of oxygen dissolved in water. Essential for fish survival. 6+ mg/L is ideal for most fish species.

Conductivity (µS/cm) (Water Quality Parameter)105.0

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

Specific Conductance (Electrical Conductivity)105.0 µS/cm

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