# BOD.csv # An aquaculture farm takes water from a stream and returns it to the stream after it # has circulated through the fish tanks. The owner is concerned that the water may # contain heightened levels of organic matter when it is released into the stream after it # has circulated in the tanks. He has taken steps to reduce this possibility, i.e., circulated # the water rather quickly through the tanks, but is still concerned about the increase in # organic material in the effluent. To determine if this is true, he takes samples of the # water at the intake and, at other times, downstream from the outlet and measures the # biological oxygen demand (BOD) as a measure of the organics in the effluent (a higher # BOD at the outlet would imply that organics are taken up from the tanks). # BOD: BOD measurement # src: source (inlet or outlet) of measurement
