ShareWater Cycles - Keeping Water Safe To Drink
In Utah, the most reliable and current information on the
quality of our water is provided by the Division of Water Quality.
Research:
From either the Utah Division of Water Quality Web site, the library,
or a local government office, you need to obtain specific information
about your local water sources. Your goal is to locate details about your
local water system. Determine the quality of your water source. You should
also find out the amount of water that is available from this source for
your community.
Sharing:
Now share the data you have learned with family, friends, teachers, the
community, and others. Produce a poster presentation, written essay, multimedia
presentation, or video to share your point of view. Make sure you indicate
how the quality and quantity of water available to your local area compares
with other locations in Utah. Be specific in giving details (you may include
information about pollution, chemicals, or biotic factors.)
Extension:
Now that you have examined your local water source, what could be done
to improve the quality of the water available to the community? Who do
you believe should be in charge of getting it done? What can you do to
begin the process?
