Engineering a Column
Concerns about access to clean, potable water are projected to rise with the ever-drying climate and increase in global population.
Inquiry-based project on the removal of nitrate contaminant from synthetic stormwater
This lesson is constructed to help students see the importance of physical, chemical and biological attributes in the removal of contaminants from the environment. Students will design, construct and run experiments on the filtration of a known pollutant, nitrate, from water.
Got Stormwater? Nitrate Removal from Stormwater Runoff (Lesson 2)
Re-inventing the Nation's Urban Water Infrastructure (ReNUWIt), in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Stanford, studies stormwater collection. In the water unit in Environmental Science, we study water resources and water pollution.
