Turbidity Comic
Storyboard Text
- Turbidity can be caused by many things, including runoff from construction zones, or downstream debris from quarries and mines.
- Lack of vegetation along riverbanks can also contribute to erosion, as can agriculture.
- The increased particles in the water caused my erosion and runoff can clog fish's gills.
- The increased particles in the water also trap the sun's heat, making the water warmer. Heat pollution can lead to lower levels of dissolved oxygen, which brings a whole host of problems with it.
- Ensuring that proper methods are taken to prevent harmful runoff are important, like putting up silt fences in construction zones, and keeping sediment out of storm drains.
- Planting trees and vegetation along our riverbanks is something everyone can do to help anchor the soil around waterways. It's important to keep turbidity low!
