1 Jefferson High School Compton Creek Research Project UCLA and Los Angeles Waterkeeper Funded by the Environmental Protection Agency

2 WEEK 5 FEBRUARY 18, 2015

3 Today Review from last time – stream bioassessments Industrial activities in the watershed Fun activity – make your own water filter

4 Review from last week Questions

5 Filtration of stormwater though soil

6 Filtration Pollutants are removed from stormwater as it flows through soil, due to physical and biological processes: Physical processes: – Deposition or attachment of particles – Adsorption of pollutants Chemical processes: oxidation / reduction Biological processes: microorganisms Chemical and biological processes (but this takes time)
