Student Objectives:
- BUILD THE SYSTEM: Obtain, evaluate and communicate information about how the designed rainwater harvesting system meets specified criteria and constraints of the engineering design process.
- BUILD THE SYSTEM: Make an argument based on evidence about how the designed rainwater harvesting system meets specified criteria and constraints of the engineering design process.
- RELATE: Identify the relationships between Rainwater Harvesting and Saving Water, Reducing water waste, Drought, Flooding, and Erosion, and Green Stormwater Infrastructure.
- TAKE A PERSPECTIVE: Given that our region is projected to get hotter and more arid, what is rainwater harvesting from the perspective of water conservation and heat mitigation?
