EXPERIMENT III - Role of Plants in Water Filtration
This experiment is to help you understand the role of plants in filtering the water moving through a watershed. Experiments can be done to show how a plume of dissolved materials can move through ...
EXPERIMENT II- Non-Point Source Pollution
Storm water flows over impervious (unable to penetrate) surfaces like driveways, sidewalks, streets, parking lots and roofs and is unable to percolate (filter or seep) into the ground. This unfilt...
Experiment I - Water Purification Through Water Cycle
You are probably be familiar with the water cycle (technically known as the hydrological cycle), do you know what it can do to help us from its continuous movement of water over, above, and beneath...
Where is Earth's water located and in what forms does it exist? You can see how water is distributed by viewing these bar charts. The left-side bar shows where the water on Earth exists; about 97 p...

Sequestration - Polyphosphates Treatment
There are, in addition, several other techniques for the control of soluble iron in the water. These make use of polyphosphates to keep the iron in solution. Polyphosphates do not remove iron from ...
Self-Examine the Need for Water Analyses
Draw a glass of water from the tap. Examine it closely. Hold it up to the light. Sniff it. And, finally, take a drink of it. On the basis of your examination, are you in a position to tell much abo...
