Dissolved Oxygen
Dissolved oxygen (DO) is an important component of aquatic systems, such as lakes, rivers, and oceans. It is essential for the survival of aquatic organisms and also plays a role in water quality. DO is produced as a by-product of photosynthesis, a process in which green plants use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into sugars. As plants produce oxygen, it is released into the water, where it is then used by organisms. Insufficient DO in the water can lead to poor water quality and an unfavorable environment for aquatic species. Monitoring DO levels is important to maintain the health of aquatic ecosystems. It is also used to evaluate the success of wastewater remediation efforts.
