    The document outlines a school project for students to create a timeline showing the journey of water from its source to Calgary taps and then back into the environment. It provides essential questions about where Calgary's water comes from initially, what happens to it within the city's water system, and where it ultimately ends up after use. Students are directed to include at least two relevant events on the timeline, use maps and visuals to enhance the information, and cite sources for their research. Resources are also provided to help with investigating Calgary's watershed, water treatment processes, water usage patterns, wastewater treatment methods, and how treated water returns to the environment.

    Water Timeline

    For this project you are to answer three (3) essential questions about
    Calgary’s water “timeline”. Use the provided sub-questions to help guide
    your understanding. Include at least two other relevant events/pieces of
    information along the time line.

    Essential Questions:
    1) Where does "my" water come from? (from the beginning to your tap)
    • What is Calgary’s watershed? Include a map.
    • What tests are done to the water before entering Calgary’s water
    system? Describe each tests.
    • Where is our water stored?
    2) What happens to the water when it gets here?
    • How much water does an “average” Calgarian use in a day?
    • What are the top uses of water in our city?
    • List & briefly describe two concerns about water usage.
    3) Where does "my" water go? (from the tap to the river to where it
    eventually ends up)
    • How is water prepared to go back into the environment? Refer to
    our Bonnybrook Waste Treatment Plant tour.
    • Where does our water end up? Include a map.

    Product:
    • You are to make a timeline of events that outline how water travels
    and what happens to the water as it travels.
    • Include visuals where necessary to help enhance information.
    • This timeline can be digital (Word, iMovie, Prezie, Glogster, Flash,
    etc..) or physical (paper).
    • Keep a reference/bibliography of where you found your
    information
    • You are allowed to work individually or with a partner.
