Why are too many nutrients (like nitrates and phosphates) bad for our waters?

• Nutrients decrease the pH of the water, causing it to become increasingly acidic

• Nutrients change the salinity of the water

• Wetlands filter out runoff that may contain nutrients

• Nutrients in the water cause too much algae growth, which decrease the level of oxygen in the water

• The Hydrogen

• The Oxygen

Which part of a water molecule has a Negative Charge?

• The Oxygen
