Hydro Dynamics

We have noticed in our school that students have been wasting drinking water.

The two areas where we have noticed major water waste is at the end of the school day with water from water bottles being dumped and on the junior high football field during practice.

Solution 1: At our school we have created a water reuse system by putting 5 gallon buckets by each water fountain so if students don’t finish their water in their water bottles just dump it in the bucket instead of down the drain. Then we collect the water and either store it with bleach for art classes to use to clean their brushes/art tools or we store it send it to our high school agriculture class to use in their irrigation system for the plants in the greenhouse during the winter and summer months.

Solution 2: We have created a prototype Football Fountain 2.0 which gathers water falling from the hanging drinking hoses into a tub. The water collected can then be moved and distributed to other areas around the field or to flower beds instead of using more clean water through sprinkler systems.

Want to Help??

We wanted to get others involved in helping us save water!

We made a video for others to watch explaining what to do with the 5 gallon buckets that showed up by the water fountains and then explained how we were going to use this grey water to help the school save clean water in other areas!

We realized clean drinking water was being wasted on the football field as well so we invented the Football Fountain 2.0 prototype. Check out our video below to learn a little more about it!
