1. Fill the pot with Ithaca Tap water
2. Measure the volume of water that seeps out in the first 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, and hour increments until the pot is empty.
Problems/Questions: The flow rate will decrease over time due to the loss of water (pressure) in the pot. Do we need more/less time intervals to measure?
Determine the range of influent water turbidities the clay pot can remove
1. Create a clay solution of 10 NTU
2. Allow the solution to run through the pot.
3. Measure the volume of water that seeps out in the first 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, and hour increments until the pot is empty.
4. Measure the Turbidity of the effluent water at each of these time intervals.
5. Repeate 1-4 for influent turbidities of 25 NTU, 50 NTU, 75 NTU, 100 NTU, 125 NTU
Problems/Questions: How do we keep the clay solution mixed? Do we need more/less time intervals to measure?
