Language:
English

Summary:
This experiment was undertaken to show the effects of agricultural runoff in present day, which would eventually lead to eutrophication of nearby bodies of water. By doing this project, ideas can be made for future fertilizing technologies to release nutrients over time, rather than all at once. From this idea, the problem of eutrophication due to agricultural runoff may be eliminated.

Pictures that were taken during the processes of this experiment can be seen here

With these pictures, one can see that the different fertilizers did have an impact. Even though through numerical data it seemed as though there was little to no growth, and even negative growth, the pictures presented show very different results.
