We will be working with the City of Reading this semester in developing a system of nets to catch and prevent pollutants from contaminating our local water supply. We are looking forward to implementing and developing new solutions by:
– Conducting Internet research to find
municipalities using outfall nets
– Contacting municipalities to learn the pros and
cons of outfall net use
– Visiting the prospective outfall net site in
Reading on the Wyomissing Creek, and taking
inventory of debris found (if any)
– Examining city drawings of outfall (if they
exist) to calculate discharge
– Taking inventory of commercial an
home-grown outfall net plans on the Internet
– Evaluating design options: net materials, hole
size, fasteners, etc.
– Designing an outfall net (one design per team)
to meet City requirements
