Now that we've figured out the treated water from our wastewater treatment facility enters the Chicago River and eventually leads to the ocean, we wanted to figure out what really happens when freshwater and saltwater mix?
We did some more taste-testing and determined that all the freshwater that ends up in the ocean becomes saltwater, too.

Now that we have evidence for what happens when freshwater and saltwater mix, we were curious about how much saltwater and freshwater there is. It seems like there is a LOT more saltwater than freshwater, but we wanted to make sure!
