How does returning warm water to rivers affect the downstream?
You're talking about rivers close to production facilities that have their own mini power plants, nuclear power plants, or other areas that have a need to cool really hot stuff. It's bad for warm or hot water to enter into the river system because warmer water holds less oxygen than cold water. The hotter the water becomes the less oxygen it can hold. This is especially bad for the organisms living within the river that can't survive below a certain oxygen level. There will still be oxygen present in the water. It's just that level of oxygen in the water will lessen as the water becomes warmer. This sudden change in temperature is known as temperature pollution.
What is the oxygen dissolved in water is a?
The oxygen dissolved in water is a measure of dissolved oxygen (DO).
What is water divided by oxygen?
Water cannot be divided by oxygen.
What has more oxygen salt water or fresh water?
Freshwater has more oxygen than salt water but oxygen is more solublein fresh water.
Which liberates oxygen from water?
Sodium (Na) separates oxygen from water.
Why is algae growth bad?
Too much algae can reduce oxygen in water. This can cause many fish to die.
What osmosis involves . both water and oxygen water but not oxygen oxygen but not water neither water nor oxygen?
Osmosis need not involve either.
Is water and oxygen a compound?
No. Water is a compound. Oxygen is an element. Oxygen dissolved in water forms a mixture.
What is the oxygen dissolved in water is a?
The oxygen dissolved in water is a measure of dissolved oxygen (DO).
Why is oxygen important to water?
Water nurtures the blood and oxygen plays a vita role in keeping you breathing.
How is the oxygen taken in by the lungs of a mammal different from the oxygen taken in by the gills of a fish?
the gills of a fish take in oxygen in water while the human lung take in oxygen in the air. I think...
Why is agriculture runoff bad for the environment?
because the chemical that is in fertlizer creates algae and it takes the oxygen from the water and kills the fish

How does oxygen get into water for fish to breathe?
Oxygen partially dissolves in water. Respiratory systems of aquatic animals are adapted to get this dissolved oxygen. They have gills for respiration.
Is there any oxygen in the deep sea?
As there is oxygen in water (H2o o=oxygen) , if there is water there is oxygen, so yes.
Water salt water oxygen and mineral water what has the lowest density?
Oxygen .
What happens when drinking water get mixed with sewage?
it would taste pretty bad because the oxygen levels in the water would decrease making it less sterile to drink
