Loleta Elementary rainwater

Background

Loleta Elementary School offers its students a garden that is cared for by onsite staff. The school plans to also add a small fruit orchard in the near future. When the fall season arrives, the school offers the community a pumpkin patch, effectively generating an additional source of revenue. Both of these agricultural activities require continued irrigation. Rather than having irrigation water provided by the municipality, Loleta Elementary School wishes to install a rainwater catchment system to support their irrigation needs.

Problem statement

The objective of this project is to install a rainwater catchment system that will reduce the cost of irrigating the garden and pumpkin patch.
