How Clean is your Water on Western Campus

This topic submitted by Matt Bokar, Kate D'Elia, Nadya Donenberg, Katie DuBois ( duboiske@muohio.edu ) on 2/7/02 .

The purpose of our lab is to test the quality of the drinking water from fountains as well as tap water on all three of the western college dorms. We will need one or two water testing kits to analyze the quantitative contents of the water. In order to find out the quality and cleanliness of the water from the different locations, we will conduct tests on the first and third floors of all three buildings. These tests will determine pH levels, acidity and the level of particles in the water. Following that, we will pass the water through a Brita Water Filter to test the actual resulting cleanliness. After that, we will freeze samples of the tap and fountain water in order to gain visible evidence of impurities. For further exploration, we will conduct a taste test between the tap water and Brita water if we notice a marked difference between the two.
