Week 7 Assignment - Water Quality and Availability
Background
Suppose you were hiking along a stream or lake and became thirsty. Would it be safe to drink the water? In many cases, it wouldn't. Contaminants affect freshwater on or beneath the Earth's surface. Though the sources of these contaminants vary, all can make water unfit to drink if they are allowed to increase beyond safe limits.
In this lab, you will:
- Analyze the results of the tests of water samples from a variety of freshwater sources.
- Determine how to treat the water samples to make them safe to drink.
