Abstract:
In-adequate and in-comprehensive chemical investigations on
the pollution impacts of natural ecosystems such as waterbodies fail
to produce fruitful solutions as they do not systemically approach the
problems. As such, this review paper proposes that inductive reasoning
should be effectively applied to generate hypotheses (which are developed
on the basis of an in-depth understanding of the ecosystem), where
systemic and comprehensive investigations are possible, thus enabling
the researcher/s to find the root causes and the rightful solutions to the
problems.
