10)
stream system - ANSWERthe watershed or drainage basin
tributary - ANSWERa smaller stream that flows into a larger one
concentration - ANSWERthe strength of a solution
formula: mass(mg)/volume(L)
pollutants - ANSWERunwanted chemicals or other materials found in the water that may damage the
environment into which they are introduced; the concentration is important to consider
(i.e. pesticides, fertilizers, oil, gas, sewage, anti freeze, pet waste, chemical waste, household
