Measurement Folio Task : Rainwater Harvesting

43. If 750 milliliters of oil were poured from the 4.75 liter container, how many liters of oil remain.

This town, Winnemucca, is right in the middle of the Great Basin Desert which is in the middle of a drought crisis. Since this drought started here, it is causing the climate to change dramatically. Every year since I can remember, Winnemucca has received less and less snow and rain. Our lakes, rivers, and reservoir are showing and proving that. Rye Patch, which is a reservoir a few miles west of Winnemucca, used to have plenty of water to fill it enough to be three quarters up the boat ramp. Now this reservoir has a record breaking low. This reservoir is so low, you cannot even put a fishing boat in

A gallon of water per person per day for drinking and washing is recommended. You don’t have to stock everything but stocking nothing is not being a wise planner. Should your shelf space be limited find other locations for storage such as under the bed.

$42,953, was 63.6 gallons per person. We can conclude that the more money one makes, the more water he consumes and the less

The most highlighted activity at the Southbank is rainwater system. Rain Bank stormwater harvesting project in South Bank Parkland, Brisbane is an important demonstration project for distributed alternative water supplies in Australia, providing an alternative solution for future issues and its highlight the profit and importance of having such solution. It has reduced the usage of main water supply, improves drought security and contributes to a cleaner, healthier waterways (Hamlyn,

Population, household size, and growth will influence all affect how on much water is used. We

D. An object has a density of 11.3 g/cm3. If it weighs 7.0 g and you added it to a graduated cylinder with 5.0 mL of water, what will be the new volume of water in the cylinder after the object is added?

In actuality, Camp Young Judaea Texas utilizes between 3.9-4.1 million gallons of water, not including the 2-3 million gallons used for landscaping purposes. Surpassing the allotted amount of water occurs primarily in the summer months following droughts or changes in temperature. During this time, the camp must switch to using water provided by the city or risk being fined for exceeding water limits. Keeping this in mind, CYJ proposes the installation of water structures that provide camp with the ability to reuse at least 30% of our waste-water before the summer of 2017. Eventually, our camp hopes to match global leaders in water sustainability that have reached an average of 97% wastewater

If water amount collected increases or decreases, the catchment bottles can be changed and altered for size. As there is a range for the grain size of materials, there is some room of altering if the materials are for any reason, unavailable. The flexibility of the design allows for adaptation if required. The materials chosen are easily accessible, safe and hygienic once filter is cleaned. The small, yet efficient size of the design allows for portability, and can be used indoors in the case of a cyclone or unsuitable weather conditions. The device is designed with the local culture and geography in mind; primarily consisting of recyclable plastic bottles and grains from Vanuatu. As chemicals are excluded in the design, the materials are familiar appropriate, simple to use and will encourage the community to filter their water. The construction and maintenance can be easily taught to and performed by locals, both men and women. This design is flexible and can cater for different situations including material availability and

Water is essential for life on earth. Water is needed for growing food, keeping ourselves clean, generating power, controlling fire and most importantly to stay alive! This list is simply non-ending. This shows that water is an integral part of our daily life and we are heavily dependent on it.

People often take water for granted, assuming that it will always be readily available. They see endless pictures of beautiful lakes, rivers, and oceans that have an abundance of crystal clear water on websites such as

In 2012, Campisano and Modica created a dimensionless methodology for the best design of domestic rainwater harvest systems. From these studies, it can be proved that the previous research had poorly designed the intake of the rainwater harvest systems. The size of the designs of rainwater harvest systems were kept in small communities. They also lacked consideration of all metropolitan catchments varying in special capacity and quality of the systems.

2- There are many ways and methods to increase safe water supplies. One of them is constructing more water catchment in Seattle houses due to the rain. Why? Because is a system of gutters and downspouts directs the rainwater collected by the roof to the storage cistern. It is very easy and fast way to get water from rain from cities like Seattle.

Water is our main source of our life. We need it to live, drink, bathe,
