Introduction

We will be looking on the different ways water can be treated / purified.

 The ways by which water is polluted.

The diseases caused by polluted water.

We must remember that Clean water is essential for everyday life.

Water treatment plant and system operators treat water so that it is safe to drink. Liquid waste treatment plant and system operators, also known as wastewater treatment plant and system operators, remove harmful pollutants from domestic and industrial liquid waste so that it is safe to return to the environment.

The Task

Research Water treatment Plant.

Find out how water is treated before it gets into our homes.

Different ways water can be purified.

Design a Treatment Plant and label.

Why is water purified? -Pollution- types of pollution.

Diseases caused from water pollution/ cure of diseases

Experiment  - filtration of different types of water e.g piped, rain, pond, sea etc.
