As the end of the semester approaches, here we have our summary post for the project. The main topic of our ECAP project was about water pollution, basically, it results when contaminants are introduced into the natural environment. it’s currently one of the most serious environmental issues in the world. However, many people have not realized its raising seriousness, even though it will have huge negative impacts on people’s daily life. Also, plant and animal life are often threatened by the decreasing quality of groundwater, and it will eventually break the ecosystem of the environment. Love-Life-Style members worked with Berks Nature as our service, which is known as a non-profit conservation organization that has been serving the Berks country community since 1974. Basically, our job was choosing locations to test the water quality, and it reflects the water pollution level. For our service, all Love-Life-Styles members went to three different testing locations at Moselem creek, which are near Berkleigh Golf club and Moselem Springs Golf club. Basically the water tests included Nitrate testing, PH, dissolved oxygen, conductivity and collecting temperatures. The only test that we could not compete with was the phosphorus test because of the lack of kits materials. We enjoyed the whole process of water testing, as it was a new experience for us to actually go outside of class and learn from the environment.
