TeamOutfall Update! So far we have met with our Professor mentors and organization three times to discuss the project. While at these meetings we have developed a project outline:
Determine city parameters for outfall net, conduct Internet research to find municipalities using outfall nets, contact municipalities to learn the pros and cons of outfall net use, visit the prospective outfall net site in Reading, examine city drawing of outfall (if they exist) to calculate discharge, inventory commercial and do-it-yourself outfall net plans on the Internet, evaluate do-it-yourself design options: net materials, hole size, fasteners, etc, design a do-it-yourself outfall net that meets City requirements.
We have completed steps one, two, four, and five during our three group meetings. We are currently working on contacting other cities that have nets and independent research on how to make a net and what to make it out of.
