Water Quality and Contamination
Introduction
Abstract My lab report was based on how ground water could be affected by contaminants that surround us everyday. “ Access to safe drinking water depends not only on the quality of water at source but also on contamination throughout it's way to the user and practices related to purification and sanitation” ( Mishra, S., & Nandeshwar, S. 2013).I was very surprised that the detergent contaminated the water. I thought that the detergent would stay in the soil but it ended up going through the soil into the water. Which then left the water bubbly and dark. These labs may show that we may need to look into more efficient way to filter our water.
Body Paragraph # 1 – Background: One of our main resources on earth is water and everything on this earth needs water to survive. Water is found below the surface which means that the water can be easily contaminated. Many items such as laundry detergent, soap, fertilizers and pesticides are poured on the ground daily that are absorbed into the soil which contaminates our fresh clean water. As these contaminants reach the underground there solubility and degradation can vary. “Research efforts are needed dealing with the remediation of leaching waters polluted to prevent further damage of surface and ground water reserves are needed”(Muñoz-Olivas, R., Bouaid, A., Liva, M., Fernández-Hernando, P., Tadeo, J., & Cámara, C. 2007).
Body Paragraph# 2- Objective: The objective of these experiments is to show the effects of common pollutant and show how contaminated water can be filtered into drinking water. Water is the main item to help everyone and everything survive on this planet. “ Water is vital to food production: every calorie of plant food requires at least one liter of water, while one calorie of meat or dairy product can require up to 10 liters of water” (Wahlquist, A. 2009).In
