This project sought to provide quality design solutions to environmental use. The objective is to create solutions that provide mankind with more resourceful alternatives for finite natural resource use. This project to address political, industrial, and conservation issues in the arena of natural resources through technology, innovation and dedication. Seeking to be a problem solver in design with a concentration in preserving the earth and all the resources she has to offer….
Current focus is on the conservation of fresh water. There are an infinite number of ways to ensure water security but security begins with the individual. As such, this project redesiged tools used for water distribution in order to conserve as much of that valuable resource as possible. What unmet customer need does this product / service fill? We are currently in the midst of designing a product that will redefine the agricultural process and ensure longevity in regards to water conservation. Why is this important? Water conservation in the agricultural community is important because 90% of water is lost due to evaporation and terrestrial absorption. By the year 2030 the U.S. is estimated that it will require 40% more water than will be available to meet agricultural demands alone. How is it unique? It is unique because it deploys technology to deliver the precise amount of water necessary to promote a healthy product yield, eliminating the water waste in herentin the current irrigation system. It is estimated that to implement this conservation product will cost $300,000. Detroit has been choosen as the site to test the design. Investors with interest include the UN water, Hantz Farms (soon to be the largest urban farm in Detroit), The Partnership for Water Conservation, The Soil and Water Conservation Society, Global Water and WaterEnvironment Federation. |
