Great job on your first report. You've done an overall good job at explaining what it is you are trying to achieve and I like the use of diagrams. Here are some things I believe you guys could improve on or make changes to:
Abstract: Although you have touched on what you are doing, there should be a little more information on why you are doing this research. Focus more on the background information and the importance of the research you are conducting. It would also be ideal if you could add any hypotheses within the abstract.
Introduction: You've done a great job in exploring the overall importance of AguaClara and I like the segway into the technological barriers. The explanation of the problem, which is really well written in being concise and precise, may be a little too specific. Try explaining terms or using language in a way such that people with little understanding of water treatment would be able to understand. This is also a good place to explain the experiments you will be conducting to test your theories.
Lit Review: You've done good research in what is required to understand the principles you will be testing. I would work a little more on having the lit review flow a little better by transitioning between ideas more fluidly instead of cutting between them. And finally, the formatting of this section is not working as the headings are not working and equations are not showing.
Previous Work: Similar to lit review, there seem to be some formatting problems with the headings. The explanations of the relationships in the separate sections should also be elaborated on more. Like what do you mean by inverse? A graph from the previous semester could help a lot too.
Overall, you guys have done a really good job and I look forward to reading your next report!
