Is the San Diego River polluted more by where nothing is near it, residential, or industrial?
I started thinking about this because I like the San Diego River and it wasn’t a very popular one last year even though it runs off into our oceans. I used to mountain bike in Santee and the San Diego River goes through there and up they’re the water looks clear and nice. Down here near where it pours out into the ocean it seems to be a little dirtier. So where does this take place along it travel to the ocean? To answer this just take some samples along the river at different stops and find the highest concentration of bacteria or pollutions.
With all the boats and industrial sites on or near the bay how badly does it affect the water?
Well when ever you go over the Coronado bridge or go to Anthony’s Fish Grotto you see all the boats and building right on the bay. When you look down into the water you cant see one foot and on top there is tons of trash with leafs, twigs, and dark brown bubbles. I always wonder if its just because the bay isn’t that big or is it all the people that work on it throwing stuff into the water right next to them. To find this out look around see if there are trashes placed around see how much of it is trash how and how much of it is not.
Watersheds, what are they, how do they work and what one are you in?
I do not know too much about them but I think I this one would be good so I could learn. They are what start communities and every one is in one so why not learn about these teach others about them and how not to pollute the watersheds we are in. To do this look at some maps, interview someone that may work or study this, and take pictures that would show good examples.
