This causes particles to chemically stick together into floc. Sedimentation : When the particles of floc get big enough, gravity causes them to sink to the bottom. Filtration : The process of removing remaining small impurities. Disinfection : Chlorine or other kinds of disinfection methods are applied to kill any bacteria and other living organisms that may be in the water.
Storage : Water is stored in tanks while the process of disinfection completes, and then is transported through pipes to our homes and workplaces. Although experiment illustrates how water is cleaned, the water processed will not be cleaned to the extent of being potable. Using the skills they have learned in classes and on-site training, UD EWB has built filters and pumps for water in Malawi and the Philippines.
This is just one example of how engineers use science to solve problems. Leave the bottle caps on and let the funnels rest in the glass openings.
Fill the funnel part of each soil container with popping corn kernels. The kernels represent pebbles in nature. Add a 2. Procedure Stir your dirty water well.
First, wet the surface of the soils by pouring four tablespoons of dirty water over the soil in each of the three containers. Look at the side of the soil containers. Can you see how high this water reaches?
Is it the same for all three containers? Scoop out one-quarter cup of dirty water and pour it over the soil in one container.
Watch what happens. Does water collect at the bottom of the funnel? Does it run fast or slowly through this soil?
Repeat the previous step for the second soil container and then for the third one. Was your prediction correct? Why do you think this soil drains water fastest? The water will collect at the bottom of the funnel, where it is stopped by the bottle cap an impermeable layer. This is like an aquifer, an underground layer of soil saturated with water.
Soil in which all the holes between particles are filled with water is called saturated. Compare how fast the aquifer grows in the three containers. You poured the same amount of water on the three soil containers. Do you think that if you wait long enough, the three aquifers will eventually hold the same amount of water or will one hold more than another?
Why do you think this is the case? In a moment you will or a helper an adult to unscrew the bottles and collect the water gathered in the aquifer in the glasses. Would any pollutants get stuck in the dirt and thus be filtered out?
Now, unscrew or ask an adult helper to unscrew the bottle cap at the bottom of the corn kernel only soil container. Pay attention; your aquifer will instantly deplete. Ask the adult to collect as much of the water as possible in the tall glass on which the container was resting.
When done, replace the unscrewed container on the tall glass so more water can drip out. Note some corn kernels might drip out; this is fine.
Now repeat or ask an adult helper to repeat the previous step for the other two containers. Taste the original dirty water and the post-filtered water. Does it taste different? Look carefully at the bottom of the glasses for signs of black pepper. Extra : Let your bottles drain over a longer period of time. Here are 10 tips on making Dirty water safe for drinking.
Boiling water is the simplest purification process that is widely used and recommended by medical specialists. It is also one of the most reliable water purification methods for almost all people around the world. What you need is contain and a heating apparatus to boil the water. Studies have shown that no parasite, bacterial, and other pathogens causing diseases can survive the temperature of boiling water.
Iodine has been used for decades as one of the water treatment agents, especially for people who love outdoor adventure. It is very effective and also very convenient on the go solution for dirty water. What you need is just to add iodine solution, crystals or tablet into the water in a container, shake it well and wait for 30minutes for the iodine work.
It will kill all viruses, bacteria, and other pathogens in the water. Most homes in Australia are using water filters to purify water before drinking. There is all sort of water filters in the market with the main difference being the technology used to purify the water. However, the principle is the same- to remove harmful chemical compounds and pathogens that cause diseases.
So water filters get rid of bacteria, parasite, and chemical elements in the dirty water. This is one of the most effective technologies that most people are now adopting to purify water. It is one of the popular water purification methods with people who love outdoor adventures. The technology uses the ultraviolet light to kill bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens in the water.
What you need to is expose the dirty water to the UV light for a few minutes, and you are good to go. However, the purification process does not remove solid particles like water filters. So you might need another process to remove solid particles. The technology works very well for upstream water where pollution and exposure to harmful chemicals are almost zero.
