Holly Monroe (UR)- Completed Water Quality Testing

I have collected all of the data I could from testing the water quality of a local pond. I have attached the salinity and Biochemical Oxygen demand (BOD) graphs along with a scientific interpretation of both. 
NOTE: On the BOD graph it filled in the dates 4-19-20 and 4-15-20 and I was unsure how to remove these dates. Testing did not occur on either of those days because of the 5 day waiting period.
POSSIBLE ERROR: I had previously struggled to read the salinity readings on the two dates that it had appeared to be 2ppt.
Salinity
Salinity on 4-22-20 was greater than the salinity on 4-24-20 (2ppt and 0ppt, respectively).

BOD
Biochemical Oxygen demand was greater on 4-17-20 than 4-21-20 (0ppm and 4ppm, respectively).
