Assignment 1: Water Knowledge
Yup. So a lady in a documentary asked me some questions and here are my answers to them.
1. What fresh water sources are around you (home, school, work)?
"Sweetwater River, Sweetwater Reservoir, Loveland Reservoir, and San Diego Bay" (source)
2. What watershed are you in?
I am in the Sweetwater Watershed (source)
3. Where does your tap water come from?
"Between 85 and 90% of our drinking water is a blend from the Colorado River and Northern California. About 10 to 15% of the City's drinking water supply is made up of runoff from local rainfall that is captured in our reservoirs." (source)
4. Where does your waste water (sewage) go?
San Diego Bay after being treated ("Between the headwaters and the outlet to San Diego Bay, the watershed contains" source)
NOTE: San Diego Bay is both a freshwater source and a waste water output source. This is an example of a method commonly referred to as "Toilet to Tap" (knowledge given to me by wastewater expert 'Greg' from 10th grade chemistry)
