The human heart is cleansed and alive once again – similar to the Earth when the hardness of winter leaves in order to welcome the warmth of spring. Thoreau expands on the idea by saying “the pond does not thunder every evening and I cannot tell surely when to expect its thundering”. In describing the unpredictable cracking of…

Also, water test strips were used to test for total alkalinity, free chlorine, pH, total hardness (amount of calcium carbonate), total chlorine, cyanuric acid, nitrate, nitrite, and bromine. The results came back to be negative for the presence of E. coli in bottled water and school water fountain samples. Also, the 9-way water test strip…
