Great Lakes in the Regional Context

    Our classes overall q-value was 85.64, so overall our classes tests on the water went very well. My groups q-value was 98 so our phosphate test went extremely well! The health of the river could be improved by protecting waste from entering the river, we could also put more rocks on the rivers edge to protect the river from runoff from the roads. My action project helps the river by protecting it from vegetable wastes produced by the school.

    Lake Superior is the biggest lake and Lake Erie is the smallest.

   The most urban lake is Lake Erie and the least is Lake Superior.

   Lake Huron has the longest shoreline with 3,181 miles.

   We can control our ecosystem by not using water as a waste treatment idea, we could use other sources to clean things.

   Phosphate is a pollutant in the river because food and decomposing plant and animal matter can make an algal bloom and kill animal life in the water. Fertilizer is another pollutant in the rivers because it can runoff of lawns near the river and kill animal life and over-promote plant growth.

   1. The water from my house is recycled in our septic tank and other water goes to our sump pump.
   2. Runoff water is water that goes into rivers, streams, ponds and lakes from roads.
   3. Runoff water and sewer water both empty out into the river but sewer water is emptied in much less increments.
    4. Oil and other car contaminants can go onto the road and then when it rains the water pulls the contaminants with it and empty into the rivers.
   5. A spot where all water in and under it goes to the same place.
