Can you tell me if the research paper for my science project is right? and tell me what is wrong too. I need it.? Question: A central survive Watered by greywater?
Variable
* Independent: Greywater
* Depends: survival of the plant.
Hypothesis: If greywater is used to water a plant, the plant will die.
[But if greywater is said somehow good for plants, then perhaps the plant grows.]
Background research:
What is greywater?
What does it contain?
What effect does it say?
Are alkaline or acidic?
Report:
Experiments on gray water and plant growth:
"Greg Cloud was interested in exploring ways to reduce water consumption, and decided to try an experiment with gray water and plants for his science fair project. He has developed a well controlled experiment to test the waters gray or would not damage the plants. Half of the plants in the study were watered with gray water, and half with normal tap water. He made daily observations and measurements to assess health plants in both groups. project Greg has led all the way to the 2007 California State Science Fair, where he won a Science Buddies Clever Scientist Award.

Myca T. also did an experiment on the effect of gray water. The research on the effect of drinking water vs. Gray on the growth of radish.
Greywater
"Greywater, also known as gray water, industrial wastewater is not generated by internal processes such as washing dishes, laundry and bathing.Greywater includes wastewater generated by all the sanitation of the house except for the toilets (toilets are Blackwater). Grey is distinct from Blackwater in the quantity and composition of its chemical and biological contaminants (from feces or toxic chemicals). "

Usage information to certain persons greywater:
"In communities arid with annual water shortages, such as California, Florida and south-west, greywater systems have been in use since the 1980s.
There are still some areas of the country where the water using gray is actually illegal. The main concern is the risk of adverse effects on health. Gray water may contain harmful microorganisms, which explains why gardeners should follow some common sense practices like not using it on plants that are eaten. "

Advantages Said:
Reusing greywater can reduce your drinking water (white water from the aquifer or water supply) and use of bills because you are now using something other than tap water to water your plants. "And because the wastewater that you use on your garden does not get pumped to the treatment system for wastewater from the city, you are also saving energy."
