Watershed project 2

Another problem we found that the level of nitrates was too high.  This is caused by a dramatic change in the plants and animals living in the stream.  Nitrates can be found because people put trash in the water and people putting pesticides and fertilizers on their lawns in excessive amounts and before a rainstorm.  Animal waste can also cause the nitrate level to rise.  So please help!
