Flow, Precipitation, and Turbidity of the Red Cedar River Lab Report

Flow, Precipitation, and turbidity of the Red Cedar River - Lab Report ExampleApparatus/Tools used The set of tools for turbidity and ingredient Load include a sounding line (a rope attached to a concrete weight), a timer, a supply of tongue depressors, and the aerial photo, a bucket to collect samples of river piddle bottles or jugs for transporting water samples to the lab, and a device for gain vigoring known volumes of water, graduated cylinders, a supply of filters that will retain particles 1m in size, metal dishes for drying and storing the filters, an oven and a desiccator to dry the filters, and a balance for measuring particle mass. Procedure In measuring turgidity and filtration of the river water sample, the procedures included, first the river water sample was collected from a Farm road bridge. Secondly, filter typographys were obtained from the stack and determined on the manifold followed by screwing the filtering cup tidy sum tightly in order to avoid leaks. A s a third procedure, a vacuum was turn on followed by measuring out 0.5L of water at a time, which was then placed into a graduated cylinder while carefully pouring it into the filter cup. Water was added to the cylinder until when the filter paper turned brown. Water from both flasks was emptied after every use. Thirty filter papers were then placed labeled metal dish. This was followed by placing the metal dish with the filter into a drying oven. It was then that the filters were tried for a period of 24 hours. Finally, with the use of a metal weighing dish, the weight of the dried dirty filter was recorded.
