Question
Figure 4 shows how the percent of total phosphorous (TP) that is bioavailable changes, depending how much TP is in the water.
1. With 1000 mg L-1of TP in the wastewater, approximately what percent was bioavailable? (Note: this represents typical concentrations entering the wastewater treatment plant)
2. With 20 mg L-1of TP in the wastewater (i.e. the rightmost point), approximately what percent was bioavailable? (Note: this represents typical concentrations leaving the wastewater treatment plant)
3. Waste-water treatment and detergent bans are both ways to reduce total-phosphorous. Describe, based on Figure 4, how these actions to remove TP from waterways can be expected to impact algae blooms. Address what difference it makes that bioavailability decreases with TP, rather than staying constant.
Read the article abstract to familiarize yourself with the study, and then look at Figures 4 and 5, also copied below 100 1.00 80 BAP/TRP 0.80 0.60 60 0.40 40 0.20 0.00 INF INF INT INT EFFL EFFL 20 (2nd WWTP (2nd WWTP (2nd WWTP (2nd WWTP (2nd WWTP (2nd WWTP wo/A w w/A wo/A w w/AI wo/A w w/AI addtion) addtion) addtion) addtion addti addtion) Fig. 5 - BAP/TRP for six different sample types.

Approx 75 percent was there with ranges from 70 to 80 percent which changes to nearly zero.
Phosphorus has a feature of making a squirl and suspension of the foam which leads to eutrophication and algae bloom in the nearby pond. So if TP will be reduced alagae blooms will be decreased which will increase dissolved oxygen and which will finally lead to pure water and health flora in the pond
