Abstract
This report analyses the ability of ordinary substances to pollute water sources, filtration techniques, as well as the quality of tap and bottled waters. This report discusses the availability of clean water sources, factors that affects the quality of water, agents of water contamination, and how the earth naturally filters impurities from water. The first experiment tested groundwater contaminants and their effects on drinking water quality using oil, vinegar and laundry soap. In the second test, sand, grave, and charcoal creates a water filter that successfully screens dirt particles from a water sample. The third laboratory identified contaminants and the quality of three water sources; tap, Dasani, and Fiji bottled water. Of the three, the bottled water I found was highly acidic. Results helped to determine the high probability of typical human activities to add impurities to water we drink. This report identifies the need of water quality research, in addition to its importance to societies. The fundamentals of Water Quality management and examination …show more content…
Humans and wildlife compete all over the globe for fresh water sources, which rapidly decline as pollution fills our lakes, rivers, oceans, and underground aquifers. The importance of water quality and pollution research is as important as water itself for all life on earth (Turk, J. & Bensel, T. 2014).
