Do you realize that Water Quality, save the identification of macroinvertebrates, the building of a salinometer and water remediation, is basically the ecology of estuaries? If not, then you are in the wrong event.
I understand that, but water quality relates to just water, while ecology covers a wider range. Still, I see how its related. Ya, quizbowl u r rite, water quality is related to ecology but only in certain topics.
It's just like Rocks and Minerals replacing Fossils. They're both Earth Science ID events, but they're not that similar. There's some overlap (you have to know a little bit about rocks for Fossils), but fossils focuses on organisms while R&M focuses on rocks and minerals.

Water Quality is in a similar situation. It's not quite Ecology; it focuses more on water testing and macroinvertebrates and pollution. But things still overlap, like some basic ecological principles. Events get replaced by events that are different. If they were the same, it wouldn't be much of a replacement.

According to chalker, Ecology is not actually being replaced! (yayy! :D )

Does this seem correct?
And yet again the Ecology / Water Quality confusion is perpetuated. As I clearly indicated just a little further back in this thread, Water Quality is the TOPIC for the Ecology event.
I'm not sure whether we'll still need the salinometer, etc. But it appears that discussing water quality in this thread is just as relevant as discussing the tundra and taiga used to be! :)

Enough. I'm serious.

The year's over, and Ecology has been replaced by Water Quality. If you still want to talk Ecology on this forum, then fine, but in the meantime, we can talk about Water Quality. There are no competitions any more.

It's not your place to say what we can talk about or not. Stop it. If it bothers you so much, then don't read this thread.

It seems like it isn't decided yet what this event is exactly going to involve.
I guess you could still study...after all, macroinvertebrate ID is a great life skill! :P

And it's not hard to restrain yourself from typing stuff and pressing the "submit" button, but you've been doing it anyway.

As we've said countless times, talk about Ecology if you want a discussion. If there aren't any discussions on Ecology and you don't start one, then how does it hurt that we're talking about Water Quality (in the thread of the event that's replacing Ecology next year,too)?

It's not your job to police the forums. We have moderators for that and it seems that none of them have a problem.

Enough is enough. Stop butting in and complaining, it's getting very old. If you want to talk about Ecology, start a conversation. If not, we'll continue talking about Ecology's replacement for next year.
