### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Dissolved Oxygen (DO)**: - Dissolved oxygen is the amount of oxygen that is present in water, which is essential for the survival of aquatic organisms such as fish and other marine life. 2. **Impact of Low DO Levels**: - When the dissolved oxygen level drops to zero, aquatic life cannot survive, leading to a condition known as septic water. Septic water is characterized by the presence of pathogens and a lack of oxygen, making it unfit for consumption and harmful to the ecosystem. ...
