Advanced Lesson 6.4 Bring on the Rain

Lesson Overview

Having water is one thing but being able to move it where it is needed is another. This lesson tackles the movement of water with gravity to deliver it where it's needed.

Teach the Teacher

Method

In a perfect world, your rainwater storage would be positioned above the area where you need it so that gravity flow would allow you to move the water without power.

Consider your expansion plan in the Intermediate Lesson, how could it be modified to include gravity as a mechanism for moving water where you need it? At a minimum, how could water be transported across your campus as needed with minimal use of pumps and power?
