                                                                   by the otway system    Water is   collected from rivers, dams or underground, and pumped through pipes to where   it is needed  
 

2

     Storage Basins to Settle Sediment Raw water from rivers is stored here   to allow solid particles to settle to the bottom  
 

3

     Dosing – removal of contaminants Special chemicals (called alum) are added to help impurities sink to   the bottom and be removed  

4

 

Option 1

Option 2
    Dissolved Air Flotation Special chemicals are added to float impurities to the surface so   they can be removed     Clarifier – settles sludge to the bottom & is removed This process makes impurities settle to the bottom so that they can   be removed
 

5

     filters to remove remaining particals The water is   filtered through different filters (eg: sand filter) to clean the water  
 

6

     ph adjustment The pH of the water (how acidic it is)   is checked and adjusted to the proper level  
 

7

     disinfection The water is disinfected so that it is safe to drink (using chlorine   or other methods)  
 

8

     clear water storage Clean   drinking water is stored until it is needed by customers

i created an animal that is perfectly adapted to life on Zork.

here is a description of the planet:

This planet has a moderate climate. It never gets very hot or very cold, but stays mild all year round. It rains for part of the year and the water forms pools and lakes which dry up towards the end of the year and then the planet is very dry. The planet is partly mountainous and partly flat. Vegetation includes tall trees with high leaves and fruit, and a smaller plant which bears nuts. However, these nuts are inside hard shells which need to be removed before the nut can be eaten. Animals include rats and mice which live underground, insects, birds that nest in the tall trees, slow moving mammals which also live in the trees and a species of carnivorous nocturnal wolf.

My animal is a : Winged duck face monster. The adaptions it has made are duck/lion/eagle

Size. extra large

Movement. Run in for legs

What does it eat, wolfs, slow moving mammals, and as a pup, rats and mice.

how its cacthes food and water. with its huge mouth.

how does it keep warm/ cold. the planet does not get very cold, or very hot.

Where will it shelter. under its huge wing but if not enough under trees.

how will it protect/defend itself. its huge wings to scare cocky predetor/ or warning and its huge teeth.
