Claim
Baylor lake has mediocor water quality. Over the las few weeks we have been colecting evidence to suport our claims. From the information I have gathered baylor lake has OK water quality. The best indicators of this are the pH and Nitrate levels.

Nitrate
Acording to fosc.org, ""Natural levels of nitrate are usually less than 1 mg/L. Concentrations over 10 mg/L will have an effect on the freshwater aquatic environment." The nitrate levels in baylor lake are slightly above the perfect level but are still below the maximum for water
Nitrate
In the areas surveyed the average nitrate (NO3-)leavels are 1.5 mg/L. This puts baylor lake at a slightly above natral level. These above avrage levels are most likely due to runoff into mountian creek and stringers branch. The areas around the creeks that feed baylor lake are efected by urbanization.
Nitrate
Although the nitrate levels are slightly higher than what is natural the water is still ok for humans and animals to be in and around. This is what defines the nitrate levels as Ok
pH
pH, also known as potintial Hydrogen, is a major factor in disciding if the water quality of an area is good or not. pH is a scale that determens how basic or acidic the water is. The higher the number the more basic it is. The lower the number the more acidic it is. The ideal pH leavels are between 6 and 8.
pH
The pH levels in baylor lake are between 7 and 9. This means Baylor lake is leaning towards the basic side of the pH scale. To the left is a graph of the data we colected at our 5 locations. As you can see the pH is leaning towrds the higher end of the spectrum
pH
The pH is most likely leaning towrads the basic side due to the amount of land keeping around it. The runoff that goes into baylor lake is most likely has some firtilizer in it. The firtilizer that washes into baylor lake causes plants to grow, so it becomes more basic water. Our water has not
Urbanization
As you can tell the major thing that is efecting baylor lake's water quality is urbanization. Acording to merriam-webster.com, urbanization is "the process by which towns and cities are formed and become larger as more and more people begin living and working in central areas."
The urbanization around baylor lake has caused polution. This polution is a form of non-point polution. We don't exactly know where the polution is coming from, but we do know it is efecting baylor lake. The two most likely polutiants are the runoff from the walmart parking lot, and runoff from baylor itself.
