Water Quality Testing

Today was a very interesting day, we went to a place where the water run off is. There we did many tests. We did test on the turbidity of the water, which is how clear the water it was so murky that we couldn't even see the Secchi disk. Then we did pH levels to see the acidity of the water, and it was around 8 -9 so that is just a little bit over the regular water acidity. Then we tested the DO is the oxygen that is in the water and that was about 7. The we also did a test on the temperature of water that was taken it was about 24 C.

Inteview finallized

Well today we finalized our interview with the Environmental Scientist & Program Director. We had a pretty good interview and got some useful information that we could use in our video. It was good because, we have a lot of problems with finding someone to interview. Then we got her e-mail from our teacher, friend boss, so that was really well and she answered our questions nicely. She also gave us some information that was very useful that could be added to our script.

Interesting Infomation

http://www.cababstractsplus.org/google/abstract.asp?AcNo=20043147465

From the website above i found some very interesting things about water, and recycled water. I found out that Mexico too does use recyled water I didn't know that before, but now I Do. They also are like the united states they have used a lot of water too and think that we all need to recycled to irrigate our farms

Final Script Done

Well our script is totally done now, and i don't need to worry about it anymore as much. I still haven't got our interview filmed and the source hasn't e-mail me back yet. So hopfully she doesn't mind us getting another interview with her. We have also fixed all the questions that we will ask her. I hope that she knows how to answer all of them, it will be wonderful if we could do it this week before we go to the trip to Mexico.

Stressig Over the Script

Well, I have today and tomorrow to finish our script and it doesn't look really well now i will need to take about 1-2 hours to fix everything so that it will look better. hopefully i can get it done in time by Monday.

How did the interview go

Well I think that this interview didn't help us at all in the project, we learned that the lady that we had interviewed knew anything that we needed to know about farms. So, we decided that that was not good at all. We have chose to change the topic to recycled water in U.S. vs. Mexico hopefully she know more information on this and can get another interview with her.

How is everything go with the interview

Well, tomorrow we are going to go to the coast keepers place to get an interview with the manager of the chemistry department and i hope that everything goes well. Hopefully, the interview will help us a lot, and we can get the rest of our script done.

Great infomation about recycled water

From this web site http://www.melbournewater.com.au/content/water_recycling/quality_of_recycled_water/quality_of_recycled_water.asp?bhcp=1
found out that there are different types of recyclers water. There is A grade and this is for irrigating farms and residential gardening. For B grade they have it for animal drinking, or for watering down dairy sheds. This doesn't include miking equipment. C is for animal grazing, and D is for woodlots and flowers. I thought that this was very interesting because I thought that there was only one type of recycled water but, there are many types of them.

Water Quality

From this web site i found out that in 42 states in the us tap water is contaminated after 2 years this web site was very interesting. I didn't know that the water was that contaminated in the U.S. I thought that the water quailty would be alright and not that bad. I know that a lot of people, drink the tap water but i guess they didn't know how bad the water was.

Reclaimed Water

This web sites has a list of how reclaimed water helps the community, it saves millions of gallons of water from water and animals drinking water. irrigations for the parks and golf course are water 7 days a week. We are now saving a lot of water from irrigation water that is saved and then the other water can be used for other things.

Recyled Water Zones

From this site that I have looked at I found out that there are zones that the recycled water is used at. It is not used everywhere it is only used in certain places.

What did i get from recyeld water

http://www.sandiego.gov/water/recycled/faq.shtml#desalination

From this site I learned that it recycled water is safe for watering your plants, and gardening. But, is not safe at all for drinking. I also think that this site is much more accurate then the one that i found on it before. But, it states the same answers.

Is recycled water drinkable

http://www.abc.net.au/catalyst/stories/s1785041.htm

From this site had some that i have done before this project, I am for sure now that there is no way anyone can drink sewer water. Even though it has been recycled. I think that it is not alright to drink any water, and I think that anyone would want to

Day at the musesum

Today it was kind of interesting but, also interesting. We learned about many things that we had to wrote about in our journal and had a little thing writtn to our teacher spencer when he was away to boston for 3 days. So, today we learned about copper, mayans, and mummies. it was interesting but, very cool to see all the things. We finally got to sit down at the end of the day.

Inteview Confirming

I have e-mail the lady that is the water composition expert and she said that it is alirght with her to be interviewed on camera. But, we need to schedule a time that is good for all of us to do it. So, our source is partially confirmed.

Script Turned In

The script was turned in and everything, was alright we finished all of it and was on time. The script was also long enough. Hopefully i get a good grade on it.

Our Script is due

Our script is due tomarrow and i am kind of scared of our working getting done. But hopefully we can get it done tonight or else we are kind of screwed. We have to work on it together because, if one of work on it, it will not be fare to the rest of us.
