Total Solids
Total solids can be referred to total
residue which includes:
1.
Dissolved
solids or portion of the solid matter found in a water sample that passes
through a filter.
2.
Suspended
solids, or that portion of the solid matter found in a water sample that passes
through a filter.
A
constant level of these is necessary for maintaining the aquatic life.
Abiotic
influences: chemicals from cars and industrial areas in streams are a contribution
to the total solids in a stream.
Biotic
influences: wastes form humans or animals affect the amount of total solids.
Anything that is living that produces a waste is a biotic influence.
