Rainwater Harvesting by Chirayu H (year 2 reading books .txt) 📖

Preface

This all started during the winter of 2019.  The main reason why you are reading this book is because of IB. What is IB? It is a school board, which I have been doing for a few years. This was the last unit in one of my subjects for my course. We were given a topic, "NO ONE IS TOO SMALL TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE". I think I have used this opportunity well and have made a difference in the society. Not only me, even you guys can make a difference. 

I took a lot of time to choose what is the best thing to do, in order to make a difference. This what my book is about. I would like to thank my teachers, parents and peers who have helped me throughout this journey. I want to give extra credits to the lab assistant, without who this product would not have existed.

Chapter 1: Goal

 

Form the above sustainable goals I have chosen is Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure. I think this is the most suitable goal because I want to come up with something new which can help conserve more water in the future. There are already a few ways in which water is getting conserved. I want to come up with a plan where water can be saved by everyone. The best way to conserve water is by doing rainwater harvesting. Therefore, my goal is to come up with a plan to do rainwater harvesting.
