The amount of dissolved oxygen is a measure of the biological activity
of the water masses. Phytoplankton and macroalgae present in the water
mass produce oxygen by way of photosynthesis.
Dissolved Oxygen, usually abbreviated to simply
'D.O.', is widely used in water quality studies and routine operation
of water reclamation facilities.
Tests, test kits, electronic and optical sensors can all be used
top determine the concentration of dissolved oxygen.
