Storm Water & Erosion Control

Business Contact: Tomi Adeola
Located in Room: 405
11 of 25 Seats Taken
This ISG demonstration will have 2 parts. To show the efficacy of different filtration media at removing sediment and other contaminants from stormwater and to show the processes and effects of erosion. The demonstration will illustrate different methods of erosion control and stormwater pollution prevention using Best Management Practices in the civil industry. We will also display the effects of soil erosion and stormwater pollution on our environment. A side slope demonstration in the lab will be set up to show the effects of running water at various degrees of slope and runoff flow rates. This will give a visual representation of which parameters contribute to the severity of erosion. A sediment filtration unit will be used to show how various filtration media can remove sediment and how each method is able to combine with the others to achieve the best result. This will show the strengths and weaknesses of each method and what applications they are most suited for. The taps in the science lab will serve as a water source for all the demonstrations while all other necessary materials will be provided.
