Water Consumption Reflection
I found out that we use a lot of water each day. While I used 60 gallons, a average Englishman uses only 40 gallons. What's really crazy is that the average American uses 100 gallons! I think that we really need to cut back on our water use. We use on average 60 more gallons than the U.K. It's crazy!!
Backyard Habitat Reflection
We compared the backyard habitat and drinking fountain water to see if it was safe to drink. We tested it for Coliform bactieria. The habitat water was orange with bubbles after the incubation period. This means it is unsafe to drink. The drinking fountain water was red with no bubbles.This means it is safe to drink. Our habitat water tested positive in tempature, bacteria, Iron, Chlorine, and Phosphate. This means it is fatal to all but bacteria. Do not go swimming there!! We contribute by adding material to the water. We also contribute by keeping it out. I would not drink the habitat water because it is most likely lethal to humans. I learned about runnoff and different proteins and chemicals that can harm or help the water.
