Water is this planet’s most valuable resource. Water is what
sustains human life on the planet. However, only roughly 3% of
the water available to us is drinkable

Water isn’t cheap. In order to create a more sustainable future for Hartnell
College we suggest the production of a 100 gallon tank that will catch rainwater
and make usable here at Hartnell College for sinks and bathrooms.

During the last century
humans have impacted
the environment like
never before; we have
diverted the flow of not
only streams, but also
of rivers and lakes, we
have raised
skyscrapers, and
constructed a concrete
jungle per-say, we
have changed the face
of our planet creating a
deviation of the natural
processes that insured
the sustainability of a
whole range of

Through, improper planned growth and development, our modern day
society, unintended have caused a tremendous strain on the environment, and
it now begins to put a strain to the life that we have grown accustomed to.
After consolidating both the negative and positive aspects of our modern
industrialization of cities across America, a need to preserve natural resources’
and the better managing of our urban growth and development has emerged

By responsibly and contentiously implementing measures that take into
mind the engineering and developmental aspects of our ever growing society,
such as collecting rain water, under standardized guidelines, we can better
manage, and even minimize the negative effects of industrialization, growth and
development, even to a point that will allow for not only environmental
protection, but environmental enrichment as-well.

As society begins to contemplate and reflect upon the importance of the
conservation of our natural resources, that at a point where considered
endlessly available, and even taken for granted; innovative measures such as
collecting rain water amongst others raise social awareness to a concerning
reality of resource scarcity, and this brings matters of sustainability,
conservation and maximization of resources to the fore front of the nexus of
society.
