Answer: Option C) "excludes agricultural runoff"

Explanation:

The Clean Water Act (CWA) established in 1972 is a federal law made in United States to address the adverse effect of water pollution. The act was aimed to maintain the physical, chemical, and biological integrity of the nation's waters.

A major shortcoming of the Clean Water Act (CWA) is agricultural runoff which is a nonpoint source (NPS) pollution. Large scale agriculture activities have an adverse impact on groundwater and surfacewater as they carry heavy fertilizer, pesticide and  water inputs.

The federal CWA establish water quality standards and total  maximum daily loads (TMDLs) to asses the pollution caused by agricultural water with the help of regulatory mechanisms.

Hence, the correct option C.

suppose you balanced a sample against three 10-gram masses. Suppose the sample weighed a little more than three masses, but coul
alexdok [17]

Answer: 241.5

Explanation:

Move the slider on the 100 gram beam to the first mark on the right, which is the 100 gram mark. If the pointer still is above the central mark, continue to move the slider to the right. Once the pointer drops below the central mark, move the slider back to the previous mark to the left. If the pointer drops below the central mark at 100 grams, move the slider back to zero.

Move the slider on the 10 gram beam to the 10 gram mark. Perform the same adjustments you did in the previous step until you find the appropriate slot for the 10 gram slider.

Repeat the same process with the 1 gram slider.

Add the values from each slider. For instance, if the 100 gram slider is on 200, the 10 gram slider is on 40 and the 1 gram slider is on 1.5, you would add 200 plus 40 plus 1.5 to get a total of 241.5 grams as the mass of your object in the tray.
