A measure of how clear water is, is known as

• pH

• Dissolved Oxygen

• Temperature

• Turbidity

Bioindicators

• are living organisms that are harmful

• are living organisms that indicate the health of a water ecosystem

• are areas of great biological diverstiy

• None of these

Eutrophication

• An organism used to monitor the health of an ecosystem.
  
• Too many nutrients in a body of water frequently due to runoff from the land. It causes a dense growth of plant life and death of animal life from lack of oxygen.  (It can cause algal bloom.)
  
• amount of oxygen that is present in the water
