OBJECTIVE:
Create a diagram that illustrates how water moves through a city, using the natural Water Cycle as inspiration. Your diagram should creatively incorporate elements of the city’s infrastructure and natural water systems.
REQUIREMENTS:
- Nodes Identification: Identify at least ten different nodes where water can flow in or out within a city. Examples of nodes include:
- Residential houses
- Commercial buildings
- Wastewater treatment plants
- Rivers or lakes
- Public parks with water features
- Rainwater collection systems
- Street drainage systems
- Water towers and reservoirs
- Industrial facilities (e.g., factories)
- Agricultural areas (if applicable)
- Diagram Creation: Create a diagram showing how water moves between these nodes. Your diagram should:
- Be clear and easy to understand.
- Include arrows or other indicators to show the direction of water flow.
- Use labels or a legend to explain what each node represents.
- Highlight any recycling or conservation methods used in the city (e.g., rainwater harvesting, greywater systems).
- Style and Format: You may create the diagram electronically (using software like Adobe Illustrator, Microsoft Visio, or a free alternative) or hand-draw it. Ensure the final submission is in PDF format.
- Research and Creativity: You are encouraged to research urban water systems and creatively interpret how they integrate with the natural water cycle. Your diagram should not only be scientifically accurate but also visually engaging.
- Documentation: Alongside your diagram, include a brief explanation (two paragraphs of at least four sentences each paragraph) describing:
- The rationale behind the placement and connection of each node.
- How your diagram was influenced by the natural water cycle.
- Any innovative features or notable aspects of the city’s water management system you included.
Requirements: 1-2 pages
