Chemicals are added to the water and  these chemicals neutralize the dirt and other dissolved particles in the water. When this happens particles and chemicals mix and form larger ones called floc.]]> 2019-01-06 19:59:24 UTC https://padlet.com/762637/twp7eiszix4c/wish/317692097 762637 https://padlet.com/762637/twp7eiszix4c/wish/317692936 Wastewater treatment is the process of taking wastewater and making it suitable for it to go back into the environment. Waste water can be made from different activities like, washing, bathing, and using the toilet. Rainwater run off is also considered wastewater. It doesn't matter where it comes from, this water contains bacteria and other contaminates. So this treatment reduces the contaminats and makes the water acceptable for releases into the environment.]]> 2019-01-06 20:08:27 UTC https://padlet.com/762637/twp7eiszix4c/wish/317692936 762637 https://padlet.com/762637/twp7eiszix4c/wish/317694123 During sedimentation the floc sits at the bottom of the water due to it's weight. ]]> 2019-01-06 20:22:03 UTC https://padlet.com/762637/twp7eiszix4c/wish/317694123 762637 https://padlet.com/762637/twp7eiszix4c/wish/317694370 Once the floc is settled at the bottom of the water supply, the clear water on top go through filters of different compositions of sand, gravel, and charcoal in order to remove dissolved particles, such as dust, parasites, bacteria, viruses, and chemicals.]]> 2019-01-06 20:24:37 UTC https://padlet.com/762637/twp7eiszix4c/wish/317694370 762637 https://padlet.com/762637/twp7eiszix4c/wish/317694716  After the water has been filtered a disinfectant like chlorine, may be added in order to kill any remaining parasites, bacteria, and viruses and to protect the water from germs when it is sent to homes and businesses.

Homes, big cities and much more can make up watersheds. ]]> 2019-01-06 21:40:41 UTC https://padlet.com/762637/twp7eiszix4c/wish/317701671 762637 https://padlet.com/762637/twp7eiszix4c/wish/317703292 Surface water comes from rain and snow. It's the water that fills rivers, lakes and streams. Water is pumped from groundwater or surface water sources into pipes or tanks. The pipes lead to our homes, schools, businesses, and any place where you can turn on the tap and drink water.]]> 2019-01-06 22:01:13 UTC https://padlet.com/762637/twp7eiszix4c/wish/317703292 762637 https://padlet.com/762637/twp7eiszix4c/wish/317703745 Personal actions like water pollution can effect the quality of our water.
