Water ParksWe hope to implement our design at a water park due to the increased level of skin and sun exposure, as well as the negative effects of water on UV damage. Water increases the level UV exposure to skin via reflection off of the water surface, as well as lensing effects below the water surface. Additionally, water park attendees are at greater risk of skin damage from UV exposure, because, as they play in the water, their sunscreen is being washed off. We are hoping to find an industry advisor next semester after identifying a specific water park as our client.
