Today I shall shrink you down to the size of a water droplet.  You are in China Lake.  China Lake supplies the drinking water for the town of Winslow. You need to tell the story of your journey from China Lake- through the water purification plant-(Kennebec Water District) to the school's drinking fountain- FROM the school's toilet, to the  Kennebec Sanitary Treatment plant ( sewage plant), into the Kennebec river, up through the water cycle and back into China Lake. Give details about each step and what happens to you- and what you might see?
