FIVE FACTS FROM THE SOURCE (Embedded):
EX: The article cites Maria Nikolajeva, a professor of at Cambridge, as saying that Bella does not "in any way promote independent thinking or personal development" in women, instead portraying a woman "meek and willing to do anything for her vampire boyfriend" (POV).
"Right-sizing applications of fertilizer and using techniques like biodynamic farming, no-till planting, settling ponds, and riparian buffer zones can help keep polluted runoff from entering streams"(Jeantheau).the first step is to starting on the ground when rundown happens because of rain the fertilizers or the dirty sand always ends up on water but to stop that cycle there many green soil we can use for farming 
"As societies, we should place the same priority on upgrading out-of-date or under-capacity sewage treatment plants that sometimes spew their contents into our waterways"(Jeantheau)the only fault is not outside but inside as well we should upgrade the toilet flush in out bathroom and upgrade it such a way that it will not use too much water but does not cause problem of spewing.
"preserving undeveloped land to help soak up rains; and constructing wetlands, stream buffer zones, and settlement ponds to allow contaminated runoff to undergo natural biological remediation before it gets into the watershed"(Jeantheau).the weather also play a large part of the solution regarding to the water pollution.this suggest use the land not developed so that in your backyard there is no pollution also create bufferzone to keep the pollution from reaching the nearby water body.
"A healthy forest acts like a sponge to soak up the rains when they come, holding the water and filtering it before it makes its way to nearby streams, lakes, and rivers. When all the trees are cut down—the forest ecosystem dies and can no longer perform this service"(Jeantheau).the forest is like vacuum cleaner so it must not be cut down but rather people should refrain as mush as possible from making stuff from the forests as much as possible. 
"we must reduce the occurrences of oil spills; but more importantly, we must reduce the amount of petroleum pollution getting into waterways from non-spill sources, which contribute far more to the problem than spills"(Jeantheau).the human activity such as throwing out oil and such can contribute to this. we must stop dumping oil and must tight some regulation oh what to throw or not to throw in your very sink in your house.


Summary of Source (Three-Four Sentences of the Who, What, Where, Why, and How in your own words. NO OPINION): 

this website provided with some very affordable and easy information of how to stop further water pollution from taking place. but this also require our attention of should we do it or not.

Author or Site: Who is the author? What training have they had? If there is no author, examine the site. What is the purpose of the site? Who funds the site? 

the author is Mark Jeantheau who i am unable to figure out but from the ing=formation this website provided with many excellent information of how to control the pollution or rather prevent from further going.
Attachment: Does the author or site have anything to gain from writing this, or is it simply informative? For example, is it a cigarette business posting an article about the benefit of cigarettes, or is it a scientific community unaffiliated with the cigarette business? 

its simply informative website. But it rather as a website that is calling for people to pay attention work on the solution.

Bias: Do you detect a bias (a favoring of either side) in the author's writing? 

i did not notice any bias on this website

no the author does not cite any references in this writing.

Use of Source: How will you use this source in your project? 

i will use this website for the solution for water pollution in my project.

FIVE FACTS FROM THE SOURCE (Embedded):
EX: After having known Edward for just a few short months, Bella admits that “it would cause [her] physical pain to be separated from him now" (Meyer 283).
to understand the qualitative and quantitative relationship between pollution and its biological consequences"(Abel) to not calculate the possibilities of how to control the water also the pollution control but also to understand and keep a reminder that there biological life that resides in the water can be affected by the step we will take.
"In water which receives waters discharges whether by design or by accident....the biologists role in the monitoring and control the water pollution is to detect and accurately describe these alteration"(Abel). the water pollution can change the water in to that extent that will harm the people also the life in the water. the job of a biologist is to find a way to clean water without harming the people and the life in the water.
"he or she may also need to be aware of the application of the biological process in the control or amelioration of pollution"(Abel) there are many different diversity of life so the biologists have to be sure of the water and the life they study their life and how they adapted to it so the solution wont do them any harm 
"he or she may be able to construct advice to the chemists, engineers, and administrative who share responsible for managing our water resources"(Abel) not only study learn the aquatic life but also to construct the people of this consequences who is responsible for the water also for funding purposes. 



Summary of Source (Three-Four Sentences of the Who, What, Where, Why, and How in your own words. NO OPINION): 

this quotes are from the book water pollution biology which stated the possible threat to the life in the water and when it becomes polluted how does it alter the life of those life in the sea or in water.  

Credibility of Source:

FIVE FACTS FROM THE SOURCE (Embedded):
EX: After having known Edward for just a few short months, Bella admits that “it would cause [her] physical pain to be separated from him now" (Meyer 283).
"[many] urban authorities have been far less successful in implementing large [sewage] infrastructural system in the [developing countries] pertinent and persistent way in particular lack of adequate materials and human sources but also ecological, institutional, political and cultural challenges"(Bas Van). shows that we can build the right sewage system but not enough sources that could aid the developing countries also there is interference's of the political means. the government takes no interest for the developments for the water pollution
"whether publicly or privately managed many of the large infrastructural system in the developing countries are limitedly resistance against the political, economic, ecological and instability they face leading to the poor environmental problem"(Bas Van). the private or public sector can establish the better sewage system for the water pollution but the developing countries the fund that is provide to them is monopolized in according to the governmental interest and thus the purpose for that establishment will fail
"improved pit-latrines. small scale households composting and other decentralized system for reuse of solid waste are widely considered a potential solution for the developing countries [however that] do not solve the massive challenges....in cities both users and local authorities consider it such technology 'low quality'" (Bas Van) people have given a solution to better approach for the water pollution but some local and users consider it not so worthy even without trying or simply they are not interested in such matter or to be tried.    
"when compared to the situation in [developed countries] the extensive environmental infrastructure in East Africa do not contain many locking effects for alternative approaches.the most widely used in the sanitary facility in the poor neighborhood are pit latrines and they occasionally supplemented with flushing toilet"(Bas Van). shoes that government lack of interest in regulating the the sewage system in countries like Africa. on top of that there is no funding to those organization who actually want to take this matter seriously. 



Summary of Source (Three-Four Sentences of the Who, What, Where, Why, and How in your own words. NO OPINION): 

In this book this shows the better approach through the help of urban efforts and modern mixture approach to water pollution but as there are problems there are solution and opposing views against the government lack of interest in the field.
