01

Collect

Each participating school takes water samples from three different sampling sites. Most beneficially, there is one site characterised by human impacts as well as one without any impacts. Sampling is done twice a year, in spring and autumn. The water samples get analysed for ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, phosphate, iron, copper and hardness by using a a chemical water analysis kit. Additionally, turbidity is determined photometrically and salinity by using an electrode.

02

Share

Water analysis results from each school are transfered into this data base. Thus, each school as access to the whole data set. This allows for carrying out shared as well as schools‘ specific scientific projects on changing water quality.

03

Compare

Water analysis data from each school can be further investigated by the students. They can carry out comparative scientific studies on the change of water quality over time. Regional aspects can be integrated into a global context.

Instructions to use the database – manual database group

This data base project was initiated as part of a PASCH project with Germany and India and an Erasmus+ Project with Germany, Norway, Italy, Portugal and Turkey.
To be able to look closely into the multifaceted topic of the project during the Erasmus+ project, each school focusses on a different topic and becomes expert on that one to share their knowledge with the other participants. The expert groups are as follows: Germany - climate change and virtual water, Italy - water in art and literature, the importance of water for peace on earth, Turkey - energy gained from water, water purification, Portugal - water and tourism / economical aspects, Norway - microplastic in the sea and on the coast.
