Rainwater Harvesting in Water Scarce Communities
Students are tasked with using the Engineering Design Process to create a system of harvesting rainwater to meet the needs of residents in communities that have a scarce water supply (shortage of water). Students will write an informational essay, "What are the benefits of harvesting rainwater specifically for water-scarce areas?"
