  1. Water Team By Ryan Nigh, Spencer Czajkowski, Paul Hugo, and Zach Merkel

  2. Abstract • At the Center for Sustainability there is going to be a need of 60 gallons of water per day for agricultural use, drinking, and other basic needs. From this information we have decided to use two slow sand filters with a water catchment system stemming from the roof for drinking water. We will tap into the Penn State water line, as a second source, incase of low amounts of rainfall.

  3. We will discuss… • Team Description • Project Description and Goals • Location • Artist Rendition • Gantt Chart • Design Matrixes • Concept Map • Cost Analysis • Sources

  10. Slow Sand Filter • Materials • Process • Output • Oxygen and organisms in water pass through sand. • Biofilm forms in top layers of sand. • Through biological action and sand filtration, pathogens are rendered harmless and viruses are removed or inactivated. • Does not require chemicals or great amount of energy.
