Dissolved Oxygen in Water Calculator

This calculator helps determine the dissolved oxygen (DO) level in water, which is crucial for assessing water quality and aquatic life health.

Input Parameters

Calculation Results

Calculation Formula

DO = Saturation (%) * 7.6 mg/L

Where:
DO = Dissolved Oxygen (mg/L)
Saturation (%) = Saturation percentage of dissolved oxygen in water at given temperature

Learn how to use the Dissolved Oxygen in Water Calculator and its working principles

How to Use the Calculator

  1. Enter the water temperature in degrees Celsius (°C).
  2. Enter the saturation percentage of dissolved oxygen in water (as a percentage).
  3. Click the "Calculate" button to compute the dissolved oxygen level in milligrams per liter (mg/L).
  4. The result will be displayed in the "Dissolved Oxygen (mg/L)" field.

Understanding Dissolved Oxygen

Dissolved oxygen (DO) is the amount of oxygen gas (O₂) dissolved in water. It is essential for the survival of fish, plants, and other aquatic organisms. The dissolved oxygen level in water can be affected by temperature, pressure, and the presence of aquatic plants and animals.

Importance of Dissolved Oxygen

Optimal dissolved oxygen levels are crucial for maintaining healthy aquatic ecosystems. Low levels of dissolved oxygen can lead to stress or death of aquatic life. This calculator helps in monitoring and managing water quality for various applications such as fisheries management, wastewater treatment, and environmental monitoring.
