This document discusses parameters for measuring water quality, including total suspended solids (TSS), volatile suspended solids (VSS), and turbidity. High TSS can slow photosynthesis, lower dissolved oxygen, and harm aquatic life. The procedure to measure TSS and VSS involves filtering a water sample, drying the filter, and calculating the solid concentrations. High TSS increases turbidity, making the water cloudy and unsafe. The relationship between these parameters and their impacts on water and living things are examined.
