The families completedinitial screening interviews to establish a baseline of their perceptions of drought, drought-resiliency, water conservation and water quality testing. The project required a commitment ofapproximately six months to construct an acrylic concrete rainwater harvesting tank at ourengineering laboratory, adopt it for home use, document water usage, and collect rainwatersamples for quality testing.
