YI950: Revived Alka Water Storage ( RAWS)

Suriya A/P Selvam TMP Little Scientist Club

RAWS (Revived Alka Water Storage) addresses water scarcity and pesticide contamination in produce. By utilizing precious prills magnesium, it enhances pH levels in waste water from filtration systems for effective pesticide removal. Pesticide residues on fruits and vegetables pose health risks, and conventional washing methods are often insufficient. The experiment involved treating excess waste water with precious prills magnesium to raise pH levels, then testing its efficacy in removing pesticides from produce. Results showed successful pH elevation, creating an alkaline environment conducive to pesticide breakdown. RAWS offers a promising solution to combat water scarcity and pesticide contamination in agriculture, safeguarding food safety and public health.
