tests from the 18th and summary of water and soil

today i restested my samples that i had collected on the weekend
these were very quick tests as i already had a slight idea of what the results were going to be

for phosphates of the water, i got the same result:
0 - 10 ppm

for pH of soil and water i obtained the following averages:
Grassy area
1) 6.998
2) 7.109


Plant car park area:
1) 6.745
2) 7.019


for salt content of the soil and water i got the same results:
1 drop added for cloudiness
this meant that the samples were very salty





i have been constantly analyzing the pollution levels of the water. these varied according to when i collected my samples. when i collected the water when the park wasnt very busy the water was very clear. the turbidity was the lowest value and there were no evident signs of pollution.

this was quite the opposite to the samples collected when the park was very busy. there were sediments floating around in the water and the water didnt look very clean. the turbidity therefore, was affected.


i have also been analyzing the soils. the soild fomr this area have constantly been dry. they are not clayey and bind together when water is added. it is light in colour in some areas, due to the high sand content. but it onther areas like the area of the carpark the soils are darker. they are just as dry and made up of fine granuels. the soils of this area are constantly dry and sandy. they are not malueable and are quite dark in colour in general.
