Environmental Team Design Constraints:
    Each year the Environmental Team is challenged to produce one gallon of clean water from a gallon of polluted water.  This task is accomplished through the construction of a filtration system utilizing only readily accessible supplies from grocery and home improvement stores.  Click here to see the Environmental Design Competition rules for 2009.

Construction:
    As with all USC ASCE projects, the water filter used in competition will be entirely constructed by students.  The construction plans for the project are in the process of being finalized and will be highly contingent upon the rules and design selected.
