Défi: | Environnement | Catégorie: | Intermédiaire | Région: | Cariboo Mainline | Ville: | Merritt, BC | École: | Coquihalla Middle School | Sommaire: | This project investigates the ability of Carbon to filter out pollutants in a running river system in order that the water quality maintains a healthy level. The testing of dissolved oxygen, conductivity, pH, total dissolved solids and water temperature was conducted on both Carbon filtered and non Carbon filtered samples.
