Water Pollution
Hawaii is ranked 8th/30 states in beach water quality
threatens wildlife & economy
dirty water goes to the ocean
 67%
of Hawaii's water is affected by urban runoff and storm
sewers in Hawaii
Solution
hydroelectric filters
generate energy from dirty water
clean the water
send it back for resident use
reduce water usage & prices
improves the air we breathe & water we use
can be used for cool the schools objective
How does a hydroelectric
generator work?
1. flowing water spins turbine
2. when the turbine spins, so
does the generator
3. converts mechanical energy
to electric to be used in
homes
