Abstract
Water is one of the most crucial resources for health and agriculture that is becoming more valuable each day. With the rising demand for clean and consumable water, the challenge for managing the water resources continues to grow. Mineral water prevents plants from absorbing nutrients from the soil making it useless in agriculture. Magnetic water treatment is a method that can be used to break down the dissolved particles in the mineral water, making it easier for the plant to absorb water without its roots getting blocked off by the particles. This makes the method useful to perform agriculture in areas where soft water is not accessible. The treatment also decreases the surface tension of the water, allowing more water to be absorbed than usual. This increases the yield of the plant and efficiency of the harvest overall. In this investigation, I conducted the magnetic treatment on mineral water with different numbers of identical neodymium magnets: 0, 2, 4, 6, and 8. The treated water was then given to Lens culinaris seeds and their growth was observed for 10 days. The research question is: How does the number of magnets used in the treatment of mineral water affect rate of growth, in terms of final length and number of leaves in 10 days, of lentils (Lens culinaris)? The hypothesis is that the rate of growth of the plants will increase as more magnets are used for the treatment. The results showed a significant increase in the final length and number of leaves of the plants, showing that magnetic treatment had a positive effect on the plant growth, as predicted. This implies that soft water can be saved for domestic and health purposes while hard water can be used for agriculture.
