Last week we went to Eaton Rapids's Water treatment center. They taught us how Eaton Rapids water is filtered by going through these three huge pipes which filters out all the junk and debris. They backwash the tanks twice a week to get out all the debris and rocks.
When we went to the water treatment center they showed us the lab the did all the water testing in and how they did it.
In Eaton Rapids i learned our two water towers hold about 1,000,000 gallons of water, underground there are thousands of more gallons of water.
Blizzard Research
A blizard occurs because a cold air mass moves out of the Arctic into the temperate zone. Cold air rises along the boundary between the two air masses. This boundary is called a cold front.

Blizzard's mostly happen in the dangerous cold mass that produce blizzards They usally come from the North Pole ,South Pole in the central Unitied, British, cloumbia, canada,and rocky montains although Blizzards are actually not as commonin the U.S as in some parts of the world but, they say the blizzards in the U.S are more dangerous because the less prepared in the U.S

Blizzards are characterized by low temperatures, accompanied by winds that are at least 35 mph or greater, there must also be sufficient falling and or blowing snow in the air that will frequently reduce visibility to 1/4 mile or less for a duration of at least 3 hours. A severe blizzard is considered to have temperatures near or below 10°F, winds exceeding 45 mph, and visibility reduced by snow to near zero. Blizzard conditions often develop on the northwest side of an intense storm system The difference between the lower pressure in the storm and the higher pressure to the west creates a tight pressure gradient, which in turn results in very strong winds. These winds combine with snow and blowing snow to produce extreme conditions. Storm systems powerful enough to cause blizzards usually form when the jet stream dips far to the south, allowing cold air from the north to clash with warm air from the south. With the colder and drier polar air comes atmospheric temperatures cold enough for the development of snow, sleet, or freezing rain.

The 911Broadcast emergency notification and alert service can deliver a large number of phone calls using a network of phone systems employing digital phone lines simultaneously. Should a disaster such as a snow storm, wild fire or flood hit your area, 911Broadcast systems can alert your community quickly providing specific instructions if an evacuation is required.
Is a severe storm condition characterized by low temperatures, strong winds, and heavy snow. By definition, the difference between blizzard and a snowstorm is the strength of the wind. Ground blizzards are a variation on the traditional blizzard, in that ground blizzards require high winds to stir up snow that has already fallen, rather than fresh snowfall. Regardless of the variety of blizzard, they can bring near-whiteout conditions, which restrict visibility to near zero. Blizzards have a negative impact on local economies and can paralyze regions for days at a time, particularly where snowfall is unusual or rare. The 1972

Water Treatment Blog
1. It falls to earth and percolates through the earth, into streams, whirling, tumbling, absorbing light photons, energy and the minerals essential for healthy life. When it is drunk, the minerals and energy it offers are absorbed and converted to energy, and it passes back into the earth and the sea - where it evaporates to continue this perfect natural cycle.

2. The water cycle is the continuous movement of water from ocean to air and land then back to the ocean, the water is as old as the earth itself. The basic underlying principle is simple: All water is recycled. There is no new water.

3. How long does it take to treat the water?
How is your day going?

Footprint blog
1. http://www.nature.org/initiatives/climatechange/calculator/
2. it was good but kids wouldnt like it
3. 77
4. a) new lightbulbs, hybrids, recycling
b) turn off lights, carpooling, recycling
c) recycle, carpool, walk
5. if we dont produce as much waste into the river the water will be cleaner.
