Where every drop finds its way
Introduction
Ifrane is famous for snow but the melted water from snow goes to waste and we don’t use it. Our project will collect water and send it to a filter to be cleaned so it can then be used for house-hold tasks. Our experiment is testing filters with cotton and without cotton, as well as with limestone and without limestone.
Hypothesis
We think that if we make a filter with cotton and without, the one with cotton will be cleaner, because the cotton will stop the smaller particles. We don't think there will be a difference between the limestone filter and the one without limestone.

Materials
Limestone
Coal
Pebbles
Sand
Stone slab
Tube
Cardboard
Water cup
Cement
Cotton
Procedure
We put the cardboard flat on the table
We mix cement and sand with water then we put it on the cardboard
We put a towel under the cardboard so the mixture doesn’t fall
We added a tube on the mixture
We added a cup at the end of the tube so water goes through it
Water goes from the tube to the filter
Results
Observations
The filter without cotton got hot, and started melting.
Conclusion
Our experiment was testing how effective filters were with and without cotton. Our hypothesis was that the filter with cotton would work better than the filter without cotton. Our hypothesis was correct and the filter with cotton did work better than the one without.
Our project aims to help Ifrane by addressing the water scarcity. Our project will collect and filter water for household tasks such as cleaning clothes. This will cut expenses on buying water, and will make it easier to get clean water.
