| Summary: | The main cause for excessive algae and aquatic plant growth in a pond or lake is an
abundance of nutrients. Phosphorus and nitrogen combined with carbon dioxide are the
main suppliers that can turn your pond from clean to green very quickly. All aquatic
plants and algae make their own energy through photosynthesis,which uses sunlight and
carbon dioxide to create energy and oxygen as the by products. The other key ingredient
to plant growth and health is nutrients, the main two being phosphorus and nitrogen.
Algae growth advantages and disadvantages. The objective of this study is to determine
the factors that influence the growth of algae in the water. In this study also to formulate
a material inhibits growth of algae in the fishponds. Parameters that are looking like
COD, TSS and NH
3
. Other parameters such as pH is to be determined as well. A total
of 3 samples was taken for each week were conducted in this study. From the results of
this study, the content of the algae grew when acquiring these three factors, namely,
sunlight, oxygen and nutrient content enough. The results showed that the COD is
decreased in every week. TSS values decreased as the content of the algae grows and
cannot pass through the filter. Although the results- of NH-3 shows that the increase and
decrease in the last 3 weeks. The
NH-3
should increase with the increase due to the
growth of algae in the water. From experiment the water increase alkaline water and
the highest value is 6.82. Generally, the algae increase in the water if the factors that
influence
of the growth
sufficient
and
enough. |
