| Hi, my name is Zach Elgood. I am 14 years old and attend grade 8 at Courtland Public School in Kitchener, Ontario. My interests are varied and include the sciences, writing and music. I enjoy playing the clarinet, bass clarinet and tenor sax in our school bands, and if not there, I might be found at Karate, playing chess or buried in a good book. I am thrilled to be making a second trip to the CWSF. Last year’s fair in Truro was an experience I will never forget. In the future I plan to study quantum physics and my dream is to hold a position at the Perimeter Institute. |

How Much N2O is in Your H2O?
| Division: | Engineering & Computing Sciences / None | | Category: | Junior | | Region: | Waterloo-Wellington | | City: | New Hamburg, ON | | School: | Courtland Avenue Senior P.S. | | Abstract: | This project examines nitrous oxide, nitrate and ammonium concentrations in municipal and private drinking water supplies. The highest concentrations of nitrous oxide, a potent greenhouse gas, were found in municipal groundwater supplies. The data suggests that the potential release of nitrous oxide, from certain municipal water supplies, could be equivalent to 50% of the flux from a nitrogen limited forest. |
