Measuring Nitrates and Phosphates in Waterways to Prevent Dead Zones

The video tutorial explains the impact of excess nutrients like nitrates and phosphates on water bodies, leading to dead zones. It demonstrates how to test for these nutrients using specific equipment. The process involves measuring water samples, adding solutions, and using meters to get readings. The results help determine the nutrient levels and their potential impact on algae growth.
