Did I Understand?

Write your answers here:

  1. Grant was determined to save the river, because the river was dying and the fishes were dead. So in order to save the river, he went to the council and asked them if they could fence up the river so in the future the river wouldn’t be dead.
  2. Because the cows produce lots of manure, that stinks up the river and when the manure gets into the river it would block the sunlight, rain and h2o ( oxygen ) which is very bad for the river.
  3. So then he could have enough evidence to show the council that cows are actually pooping near the river, and because of that it has caused enough damage like water pollution and because Grant doesn’t have enough money to buy those special water cleaner things to clean out the manure.
  4. Conductivity can impact on the river health by testing out rivers if they are clean or not clean and if they are not clean they would go to this machine in the river, and tell them oh I can’t go that far or I can’t see very well because of the murky river. And so that machine would clean out all the water pollution that has been in the river, and that machine would make the river clean so then the sunlight, rain and h2o could go into the river.
