Amount of oxygen dissolved (and hence available to sustain marine life) in a body of water such as a lake, river, or stream. DO is the most important indicator of the health of a water body and its capacity to support a balanced aquatic ecosystem of plants and animals. Wastewater containing organic (oxygen consuming) pollutants depletes the dissolved oxygen and may lead to the death of marine organisms.
