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.

17. 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.
