What my project is about: I will be comparing results from water testing I did at two different water bodies to prove that the catchment area has an influence over the water quality in the different water bodies. The first water body I tested was the small dam in the bokkie park situated in between residential areas and in the middle of a piece of land solely used for animals. The second water body I tested was the small dam across the road from the Trinity Church in Boksburg on Rondebult Road‚ which

WATER QUALITY IN RURAL INDIA The rural population of India comprises more than 700 million people residing in about 1.42 million habitations spread over 15 diverse ecological regions. It is true that providing drinking water to such a large population is an enormous challenge. Our country is also characterised by non-uniformity in level of awareness‚ socio-economic development‚ education‚ poverty‚ practices and rituals which add to the complexity of providing water. The health burden of poor

Groundwater is an important source of drinking water for more than half of the nation’s population and nearly all its rural population. In recent years‚ widespread reports of bacteria‚ nitrate‚ synthetic organic chemicals and other pollutants in groundwater have increased public concern about the quality of groundwater. What do we know - and what don’t we know - about groundwater quality? What causes groundwater contamination‚ and to what extent are the nation’s groundwater supplies at risk?

Solution(s) to the Problem of Waste Contamination in Water - Eutrophication By Patricia Lopes The degree of eutrophication in water bodies depends‚ mostly‚ on the concentration of nutrients usually phosphorus in the water‚. Calculations show that because of the increase of population growth and urbanization‚ the world input of phosphorus into the rivers will have reached 2.56 million tons per year by the end of the 20th century. Also‚ an additional 0.6 million tons‚ are added mainly due to agricultural

Abstract: Water potential is the measure of free energy of water in a solution. The purpose of this lab was to find the water potential of a potato cell. The problem of this lab was‚ if there was a high molarity of solute‚ would it have a positive or negative water potential? The hypothesis of the experiment was‚ if there is a high molarity of solute then the water potential would be lower or negative. After obtaining potatoes‚ we cut them into pieces‚ weighed them‚ and then placed them in a solution

The first lab we did was overall fascinating. Each station had something different to offer and revealed results that I would not have guessed. The exercise that profoundly stuck out to me the most was the “water tank‚” lab. The procedure of the lab was to shoot a red laser beam into the tank of water from three different directions. I first shot the laser from above the water surface‚ then from below‚ and finally from the side of the tank. Interestingly enough‚ each direction‚ the laser would bend
