City Discussion

    Mrs. Byerly came to talk to us about the cities plan for the way that all of the water is going to systematically work.  She told us about what the city was doing to the storm water, which was that they were making big well like things in a couple of different parts of the city that all of the water will collect in and the the city will have to go and empty every once and a while.  The city made it so that the storm water wouldn't build up in the street and made it so that it was less likely to flood the island.  This move by the city will improve the overall water quality of the river water by keeping less rail water from running into the water that has already been through the town.  This will improve the quality of the test that my group is doing by giving us cleaner water to test intern giving us a better BOD, meaning that there will be more oxygen in the water.  I learned from the talk that although main street was being opened back up that they were now going to close us some of hall street, because they need to tear that up and do work on it.  My bio bottle that i am working on is doing really good, i have three different sunflowers growing really quickly, and that look really healthy also.  For my groups action project i am getting the materials to build a compost bin and then we're going to do a two week trial in the cafeteria's for composting.  We have made it pretty far in our power point i think, with help of the action plan paper.
