====__Which Water Purifier is Most Effective for Third World Countries?__ ====

By Leah Smith



 * Research Project ** I have decided to do my project on water purification in third world countries. I will be looking at drinking water and how it can be cleaned in the cheapest and most effective way. I have decided to do this because water is a huge problem all around the world. We are lucky enough to have fresh water available all the time for us. Other people are not as lucky. There water is not clean and is often polluted, this is the most common cause of sicknesses that often lead to death.

I will be looking at “Which water purifier is most effective for third world countries?”

I can look at this by using such things as the internet, books, and I know a few different people who can help me out. I have a friend who is studying Water Engineering and knows a lot about this kind of thing. I also know someone who builds/designs water purifiers for third world countries.

Some of the hard things that I will come across in this will be things like can I get all the equipment needed and how will I test the water. The variables will be things like water temperature and what purifiers we use to test things. I will need to test different ways to clean the dirty water; I also need different types of water. I will also need to use something to test the water. I think you can get these strips from pet shops to test the fish water and it will tell you different things about the water. Safety factors I think to think about is if I am using clay pots and heavy items that I might be able to hurt myself with heavy lifting. But there is not very many safety risks with this experiment.

The approximate length I would need would be a day once I have gotten all the equipment and made the water purifications. I would definitely need to test it more than once. I was thinking maybe 3-5 times with each one. I still do not know exactly how my experiment is going to work and only have a vague idea. So I don’t have the specific details of the trials.
