Water Canal Treatment
Group Members: Lucila E. Agojo Maria Shaira M. Aguilera Emilyn B. Cecilia Alyssa Ashley M. Roa Angelynne K. Rapisora Christian Paul J. Salamante I. Introduction
Water canal treatment is the process of removing undesirable chemicals, biological contaminants, suspended solids and gases from contaminated water. The goal is to produce water fit for a specific purpose. First, we have an idea to use black carbon, filtration sand, rocks, and pebbles. The black carbon will help the canal water to remove the bad odor of the canal water. Filtration sand has three types: rapid sand filter, upflow sand filter, and slow sand filter. Slow sand filter is like the white sand that doesn’t need chemicals to produce high quality of water so we chose slow sand filter. Rocks and pebbles contain inorganic minerals that can dissolve sulfates and other chemicals of the canal water. We decided to do this process by layer to layer using bottles. We also used cotton cloth per layer and filter paper in the black carbon and filtration sand.

    The Erie Canal finished in 1825 went from Lake Erie to the Hudson River and the Atlantic Ocean. It was built in the search for a better way of transportation from the Old Northwest to the East Coast. The Erie Canal seemed impossible to build by many but it was eventually built overcoming some challenges along the way. The Erie Canal had many positive effects on America but had a few negative consequences. The difficulty in the transportation of goods from Old Northwest to the East Coast lead to the construction of the Erie canal which seemed impossible but is completed successfully and impacted America in many ways.…

    Background: According to the Millennium Development Goals Report 2012, 783 million people, or 11 per cent of the global population, remain without access to an improved source of drinking water. Also the United Nations has long been addressing the global crisis caused by insufficient water supply to satisfy basic human needs and growing demands on the world’s water resources to meet human, commercial and agricultural needs (un.org). In this experiment water quality and contamination of groundwater was investigated. First, I observed the effects that many pollutants have on groundwater. I predict that in this experiment the oil and vinegar will create the large amount of contamination in the water, while the laundry detergent will just create an aroma smell to it. Considering the smells and color to these ingredients I think that it will cause the water quality to have a bad smell and cause the water to be very cloudy. Once filtering the contaminated water, the water will be clear and purified. Second, I will experiment water treatment and filtering. I predict that once the contaminated water is treated and filtered that it will leave me with less contamination or none at all. Then for the last experiment, I will determine the difference between bottled water and tap water to discover any contamination. I predict that the tap water will be the most contaminated and with the most chemicals in it, while the bottled waters; Dasani and Fiji will be completely filtered and free of any chemicals.…

    Connotation- The symbolic choice of choosing Saturday, as the day in the poem, makes me think that the poet wants to give an extra to the poem. Saturday is the day that is culturaly used to party out and have fun, but this teenagers, are not. The poet gives you a sensation of lonelyness. Also, the phrase used, by the poet " San Francisco was a postcard on a bedrrom wall" makes you feel a sensation of unreacheble. That phrase makes me feel that San Francisco is only a dream or something they know they can 't be.…
