Nitrogen is abundant in the Earth’s atmosphere and is present in water in the form of nitrate, nitrite, and ammonia.
Plants use nitrogen as a nutrient to build proteins by tracking it in through their root system. Nitrate is formed
in water mainly through rainfall, decomposition of organic matter, and runoff from manmade pollutants such as sewage
waste and fertilizers. Almost all surface waters have a measurable level of nitrate, and a moderate amount is considered
beneficial. Large amounts of nitrate, however, can lead to eutrophication which may result in decreased levels of dissolved oxygen in the water.
