Newtown Creek pH levels

The Newtown Creek is a very vital piece of history. The Newtown creek is a small but very polluted river. Although polluted the life on near the Newtown Creek is moving on. A diver is being brought in to see if the wall along the Newtown Creek is strong enough to with stand the building of a building. As in any lake or pond the water's ph levels are affected by its age and the chemicals discharged by the surrounding companies or factories. Although the life in the Newtown Creek is not very populis but there are still some animals trying to survive in its waters. Many of the Newtown Creek estuary has become nonexsistent because of the very large oil spillage in the water. On the creek there are also sewage plants that sometimes spill into the waters of the Newtown Creek. The oil spill into the Newtown creek has killed its many critters. The ph levels in the Newtown Creek are a 7.0 its a nuetral level. What you learn in science is that hydrogen molecules have to have an equal amount of each. There is no such thing as a normal ph because the range of normal differs for each pond, lake, river, or any body of water. The reason for most of the pollution in the creek has to do with the c.s.o.'s(combined sewage outfall). They continually dump gallons of human sewage into the Creek a day.
