Application

1. Try to apply the 8 water harvesting principles where you live. Begin with the first principle: observation. Pay close attention to your surroundings, identify how rainwater moves through your home and around your community (in natural and human-made spaces). Pay attention to the patterns of rain in your area and the flows of water. Keep these observations in a journal, or share what you saw in the discussion board. 

Bonus: Try to measure the amount of inches of rain in a week with a DIY rain gauge!

2. Explore the topography of your area with the 3D rotation tool, paying attention to elements like steep or flat slopes.

3. Here is a fun exercise to combine the different knowledge and skills you have applied in this module. Mark any spot on the sheet that you have been able to complete. Though usually, you have achieved Bingo once you complete four activities in a row, try to strive for completing as many of the tasks as possible, so you can apply the knowledge you gained in this lesson. You can share your progress, or questions with your peers in the discussion forum!
