"Gather, process and present information on the features of the local town water supply in terms of: (blah blah blah)"

Is this referring to the Hawkesbury Nepean catchment, Parramatta River area, or Warragamba Dam? (If I'm in Sydney and my school's in the Parramatta area.)

We took it as Sydney Water

You can find lots of info on it from the Sydney Water website.

i looked there.
it seems amazingly sparse in actual information. it says a lot about it taking water quality measurements and stuff, but not how it does it. maybe i'm looking in the wrong place?

 

[-=«MÄLÅÇhïtÊ»=-]

From memory, there's a section for schools/education.

It goes through things like flocculation, coagulation?! (can't remember wat they were called). If you want scientific explanations, you can juz look in conquering chem. The site mainly gives u their process, and small explanations like static attraction to form chunks?

You'll get alot more info doing sydney water, than researching your local catchment.

We did the Sydney catchment too, and the Sydney water site is good for describing the processes involved in pruifying the water to make it drinkable. Just follow the links from the main site and it will take you to the school section.

The marker does not know and cannot legally try to find out where your school is, that's why we have student numbers . Do the one that you can find the most info on.

My teacher is making us do this as an assessment...and I'm going to be in melbourne when i have to do it....so he is making me do a catchment in melbourne.....good thing my bf lives there he can help me out a bit with finding stuff

we did the creek that runs next to our school. we did all the tests ourself and it was soooooo exciting! (note the sarcasm)

 

[EvilIsAnArtForm]

yeah we were meant to do that...but cos it's holidays he gave us a research one

 

[+:: $i[Q]u3 ::+]

when it talks about catchment area, it's the warragamba catchment area (it flows into warragamba dam)
the next bit talks about how it's purified.
that would be Sydney water, specifically Prospect Filtration Plant (i would assume)
