Replicates DOP WM
Discussion
However, results may be invalidated
as there are many observed
uncertainties caused by errors in
the utilization of methods
The standard deviation of the DO concentration of WM is higher
than that of the DOP
Discussion
The inconsistency in WM can be due to the systematic errors
(inaccurate measurements of reagents, wrong sampling procedure,
and contamination)
