A Critical Evaluation of the Adaptation of the Right Scientific Method in the Chemical Analysis of Pollution in a Waterbody

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.
