Project Sponsor: Buffalo ReUse

O$.$ Problem Definition: specifically what problem$($s$)$ does the client wish solved?

$($A rain collection system is a possible solution, not the problem.$)$

Owner$/$Manager of a garden located in urban Buffalo,NY expressed the desire for a new system to water this

garden. Client mentioned specific interest in rain$-$water collection, and$/$or a water transport system using the

fire hydrant

An improved system would benefit the organization that manages the gardens, and thereby benefit the

residents living in the immediate neighborhood vicinity for whom the produce of the garden is intended.

Currently water is sourced from a water supply at the building and a nearby fire hydrant, with workers

manually using a hand$-$held hose$/$sprinkler

Key criteria that would reflect if the new system is "better" than the current would include:

Enough water to meet demand of the plants!

Person$-$hrs needed to water the garden

Cost

Source of water $($recycle or consume new water$)$

other? $($regulatory restrictions, durability, etc.$)$
