Description
Benthic Analysis of Glamor and Little Glamor Lakes
Abstract
Benthos are an excellent biological tool for assessing
water quality and health due to the variable tolerance to
pollution and disturbances that groups of invertebrates
possess. Monitoring their abundance and diversity in the
environment (bioassessment) alongside chemical variables
such as DO, pH, and temperature can be used to detect water contaminants and the extent of its effects.
