The Water Volume Filtered by Oysters computes the approximate volume of water that can be filtered by population of oysters over a period of time.
INSTRUCTIONS: Enter the following:
Water Volume Filtered by Oysters (W): The volume of water is returned in liters, gallons, and acre feet.
The Math / Science
Oysters are bivalve aquatic animals that ingest water and in the process filter the water of sediments and pollutants, reduce erosion, sequester carbon and and when clustered in oyster reefs (large clusters), they stabilize sediment and decrease the damaging effects of wave energy.
The Filter Rate for Oysters is a approximately 200 liters per day which is equal to the default above of 8.333 Liters per Hour.
