Rainwater Harvesting - Native Garden Design: Changing the Topography
by Brianne Loya
This design challenge was open for any interested students from grades 9-12. Students met afterschool over the course of the second semester. This is the 3rd sequence lesson in a set of 4. This lesson sequence is preceded by students developing a water budget for their space and in this lesson they will figuring how to change the topography of their area to better meet rainwater harvesting principles.
