5. Let me tell you about the world I’d like to see. Coby Weber-Shirk (age 7) ä First, I would like to see the water, ground, and air not polluted. As in, not having chemicals dumped in somehow. Like, for the air, no burning plastic or Styrofoam. For the water, no trash or oil being dumped in. For the ground, no littering, and for the air, no smog or smoke. ä Second, no endangered species, no animal over population, when trees are cut another is planted in its place, and I would also like no more rainforest cutting. ä Third, for people, I would like to see more kindness, cooperation, and more respect for the world we share. ä That is the world I would like to see. ä First, I would like to see the water, ground, and air not polluted.

13. New York City Water ä Where does New York City’s water come from? ä How does the water get to all the buildings? ä Where does the water go when it “goes down the drain” Could NYC get its water from the rainfall on the City? Solution

14. Could NYC get its water from the rainfall on the City? Annual Rainfall ____________ NYC consumption ___________________ 5.3 billion liters/day 1 m/yr NYC area ___________________ 800.0 km 2 How could we convert the consumption into a velocity with units of m/yr? ???

15. Drinking Water Treatment for NYC? ä Sierra Club: “City would spend 1.5 billion [to build a filtration plant] instead of protecting Croton watershed” ä NYC Department of Environmental Protection: “Of the 7,400 surface drinking water supplies in the U.S. at least 7,310 have filtration plants designed to insure that the water these systems provide to their consumers is safe.” ä ENGRI 113: What do you think? ä Sierra Club: “City would spend 1.5 billion [to build a filtration plant] instead of protecting Croton watershed” ä NYC Department of Environmental Protection: “Of the 7,400 surface drinking water supplies in the U.S. at least 7,310 have filtration plants designed to insure that the water these systems provide to their consumers is safe.” ä ENGRI 113: What do you think?
