Wai Water Trip
















On Thursday we went on a bus to 3 different places. First we went to the water reservoir. We went on top the of the building and saw the ozone pipes. We went in a tunnel and the lights turned off. We went up the hill and looked at the big reservoirs that hold the water for Timaru. We saw the fresh water coming in from Pareora River.





Next we went to the Museum. Nadine told us all about the water molecules- 2 Hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom. We also found out what things can make river water bad. We got to see the whitebait and she fed them.





Last we went to the milliscreen place that deals with all Timaru's wastewater. It was disguisting and stinky in places. Some brave people went down to the see the wet wall, but Mrs Cooper didn't.
