    Lakshmi Bhaskar's project for the Global School Expo-2024 focuses on rainwater harvesting. The project involves building a model to demonstrate how rainwater can be collected from rooftops and stored for non-potable uses like gardening and flushing toilets. The model uses simple and readily available materials like cardboard, straws, and bottles. It is intended to educate people on water conservation and sustainability, with potential applications for residential areas, schools, disaster preparedness, and community development projects in areas with limited water access.

    Project 1 — Agriculture:
    Rainwater Harvesting Model: Use Cases, Implementation, and Conclusion

     Use Cases:

    o Residential applications: This model can be used to demonstrate how rainwater can be harvested
    for non-potable purposes like gardening, washing cars, or flushing toilets. This can reduce
    reliance on municipal water, lower water bills, and conserve precious resources.
    o Educational purposes: The model can be used in schools or community centers to educate people
    about the importance of water conservation and the benefits of rainwater harvesting. It can be a
    engaging tool for environmental education, sparking interest in sustainable practices.
    o Community development projects: In areas with limited access to clean water, rainwater
    harvesting can be a crucial source for irrigating crops, providing drinking water, and improving
    sanitation. The model can be used to showcase the practical application of this technology in
    such communities.
    o Disaster preparedness: Rainwater harvesting can provide a backup source of water in case of
    natural disasters or emergencies. The model can be used to raise awareness about this
    preparedness strategy and encourage communities to implement such systems.
     Implementation:
    Materials:

    o Roof: Cardboard, plastic sheet, or other readily available material.


    o Gutters: Straws, cardboard tubes, or flexible plastic tubing.
    o Filter: Mesh fabric, coffee filters, or activated charcoal (optional).
    o Storage tank: Clear container like a bottle or jar.
    o Decorative elements: Paint, markers, small figures (optional).
    Steps:

    o Build the roof: Cut and shape the chosen material to represent a simple roof structure.
    o Attach gutters: Connect the gutters to the roof, ensuring proper drainage towards the
    storage tank.
    o Create a filter: Place the chosen filter material at the point where water enters the storage
    tank.
    o Construct the storage tank: Choose a clear container to showcase the collected rainwater.
    Markings can be added to indicate water levels.
    o Assemble the model: Combine all components and decorate if desired.
    o Simulate rainfall: Use a spray bottle or dropper to demonstrate how rainwater collects on
    the roof and flows through the gutters and filter.
    o Prepare presentation: Label parts of the model, create explanatory diagrams, and practice
    a brief presentation highlighting the benefits and potential applications of rainwater
    harvesting.

    Conclusion:

    This rainwater harvesting model serves as a practical and engaging tool to raise awareness about this sustainable
    water management technique. It showcases the potential of harvesting rainwater for various purposes, reducing
    reliance on conventional water sources, and conserving resources. By implementing this model in different
    settings, we can encourage individuals and communities to adopt sustainable practices for a more water-secure
    future.
