water quality

The simplest cost effective technique to clean and purify the drinking water?

Please share if you know about these techniques. It would be helpful for the poor...

Second Science Workshop held at Quirino HS

     One hundred and ten members of Schlumberger Excellence in Educational Development - Philippines from various grades warmly welcomed the arrival of Ms. Gloria Bato, SEED Coordinator, Philippines, and Mr. Simon Lim, SEED Coordinator, Malaysia, for the SEED Science Day Workshop, September 24, 2011.

Water Testing in Quirino High School

Late Report: WATER TESTING IN QUIRINO HIGH SCHOOL

The Seminar Workshop conducted last Sept. 24, 2011, was informative and interesting. As the workshop progressed everybody was very excited to know the results of the tests applied to three types of water samples--water from a pond, water from a river, and water from the faucet. Everybody concluded that the experiment is very helpful and could be done also in our own houses as well as in the community where we live so that everybody will be aware and cautious about the water we drink.

Heavenly Water thanks to SEED

I agree with the words of Edmund S. Muskie, US Senator:

"High quality water is more than the dream of the conservationists, more than a political slogan; high quality water,

in the right quantity at the right place at the right time, is essential to health, recreation, and economic growth."

 

Really, water is essential in all cases.

But the government might have overlooked the significance of water as regards to its water-related cases in hospitals.

SEED WATER TESTING WORKSHOP 2011

" It's very important to test water because we use it in every day life."

These are the words of Mr. Simon Lim during the SEED water testing workshop held at Quirino High School, Philippines, on September 24.

He emphasized the reasons why we should test water and  the importance of knowing it. Also,  he performed some experiments and explained the phenomena behind it. And as he was explaining, we, the students, are really listening to him because we are so curious if our drinking water is safe.
