DO (Dissolved Oxygen) Saturation

Dissolved Oxygen (DO) saturation refers to the amount of oxygen that is dissolved in water relative to the maximum amount it could hold at a specific temperature and pressure. It is expressed as a percentage; 100% saturation means the water contains as much oxygen as it can naturally hold under those conditions. Factors like temperature, pressure, and the presence of algae or pollution influence DO saturation levels. Adequate DO saturation is essential for the survival of aquatic life, as it indicates healthy, oxygen-rich water that supports fish, plants, and other organisms.
