Water quality assessment of Prairie Creek Reservoir tributaries in Delaware County, Indiana

Cities such as Detroit add orthophosphate to their water as part of their corrosion control plans because the compound encourages the formation of lead phosphates, which are largely insoluble and can add to the pipes' passivation layer." (15) In sum, the failure to use orthophosphate to prevent corrosion of Flint's aging pipes allowed lead to leach into the drinking water.

Samples were collected on the subsurface of the water column to determine the following variables: temperature, pH, electrical conductivity (WTW 3401 multi-parameter probe); dissolved oxygen (Oximeter Hanna HI 9146); total suspended solids (TSS) (Strickland and Parsons, 1972), nitrite, nitrate and ammonium (DIONEX--ICS1000), orthophosphate and silicate (Grasshoff et al., 1983).
