 Water quality: It may be fair to presume that clean water is necessary to maintain essential habitat and a healthy population of Novisuccinea chittenangoensis, just as it is to the survival of many other invertebrates; however, since Novisuccinea chittenangoensis is a terrestrial snail, the effects of water quality are expected to be somewhat indirect. While water quality may play a potential role in the success or decline of Novisuccinea chittenangoensis, this relationship has not been clearly defined to date.
