Background
Water is the most vital
substance for life. Water quality is the chemical,
physical, and biological state of any water body.
Various sources like
industrial effluents, runoff from storm water and
agricultural production, septic tanks, sewage treatment,
drainage, and development affect general water quality
in Florida.
Impacts of water quality
degradation are observed on human and ecosystem health, crop production, economics, and other
environmental conditions.
