A recent issue occurred within the state of Indiana. The state of Indiana allowed BP to dump more waste into Lake Michigan. The state of Illinois does not agree with the decision made by Indiana and is trying to get the decision overturned. This legal battle will most likely cost both states millions of dollars as well as the cost to BP, the company. This issue shows the problems that water pollution causes in our society. | A recent issue occurred within the state of Indiana. The state of Indiana allowed BP to dump more waste into Lake Michigan.

Our overall goal of this design project is to create a solution that will lower the amount of water pollution in fresh water lakes. To achieve this goal, our solution must be a flexible solution that can be implemented in a diverse variety of water environments. | Our overall goal of this design project is to create a solution that will lower the amount of water pollution in fresh water lakes.

Clean-up of Polluted Lakes and Rivers
The earth is mostly covered with bodies of water. Human activities throughout time have polluted many of the earth’s lakes and rivers. The pollution of lakes and rivers prevents people from using the resources that the water can provide. This includes fish, other edible sea creatures, and the water itself. Some of the specific causes of this problem are factory waste water, field run off of pesticides, and waste water plants that are allowed to dump sewage into lakes and rivers. A recent issue occurred within the state of Indiana. The state of Indiana allowed BP to dump more waste into Lake Michigan. The state of Illinois does not agree with the decision made by Indiana and is trying to get the decision overturned. This legal battle will most likely cost both states millions of dollars as well as the cost to BP, the company. This issue shows the problems that water pollution causes in our society. Our overall goal of this design project is to create a solution that will lower the amount of water pollution in fresh water lakes. To achieve this goal, our solution must be a flexible solution that can be implemented in a diverse variety of water environments.
