Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the water quality and discharge of the Mowry Canal into Biscayne Bay, Florida, from 1975 to 1981. The author analyzes available data on physical parameters, nutrients, bacteria, heavy metals, and pesticides to assess the canal's impact on the marine habitat of Biscayne National Park. The study reveals a positive relationship between rainfall and discharge, with a significant lag time due to water management practices. While the canal's water quality is generally good, elevated nitrogen levels in one area raise concerns about nutrient loading in the bay. Bacteriological contamination is minimal, and heavy metals and pesticides have been detected in the sediment. The book's insights are crucial for understanding the impact of freshwater discharge on marine ecosystems and the importance of water quality monitoring to protect sensitive coastal environments.
