A measure of the concentration of oxygen that is dissolved in water
Real World Example
Imagine you're at a crowded party, and you're trying to find a quiet corner where you can breathe easily without being overwhelmed by noise. The concept of dissolved oxygen in water is similar to this situation because fish and aquatic organisms need a certain level of oxygen in the water to "breathe" comfortably and survive. Just like you need enough space and quiet to thrive at the party, aquatic life requires a sufficient concentration of dissolved oxygen in water to maintain their health and well-being.
