Self Purification Of Water Bodies. Organisms of significance in natural purification process are bacteria algae and protozoa. It is thus seen that natural streams or rivers polluted by sewage are purified in natural course by the phenomenon of self-purification. The biological processes are primarily mineralization the. In water samples from water bodies the dominant phytoplankton and zooplankton species were identified as possible agents or indicators of the self-purification capacity of water bodies.
First by the conversion of unstable organic matter into the bodies of living organisms. Sources of suspended solids one of the most common water pollutants. Self Purification of Natural Water Systems Water Management i Dilution. The organic and inorganic pollutants in most of the rivers in China are beyond the self-purification capacity. The solubility of oxygen. Self-purification of water bodies Dilution Current Sunlight Temperature Rate of oxidation Reduction Sedimentation Hydrography.
River Self Purification Organic matter Complex carbohydrates Proteins lipids hydrolysis Amino acids Simple sugars Fatty acids Fermentation Fatty acids.
The amount of dissolved Oxygen DO in water is one of the most commonly used indicators of a river health. The biological life that is present in water including the organisms that are responsible for the self-purification processes depends on the dissolved oxygen for survival. Self-purification of water bodies are important tools to support effective water resource management. Organisms of significance in natural purification process are bacteria algae and protozoa. In the present article there is shown by a number of examples the possible role of zooplankton in the production and destruction of organic. First by the conversion of unstable organic matter into the bodies of living organisms.
