The vine was dying because its roots extended onto areas that prevented water from reaching it. To solve this, the students proposed running subsurface irrigation pipes under the classrooms to carry wastewater and rainwater to the vine's roots, hydrating it without disrupting the oval or road. An annotated diagram accompanied their explanation of the solution to keep the vine alive using wastewater and rainwater directed through pipes.
2. The Problem
The problem is that the vine has no water to the roots and without water to the
roots the vine will die.
The roots extend onto Osmond Terrace and out onto Norwood Oval which
prevents water from getting to the roots.
We can’t dig up the oval or the road to water it so we came up with a solution that
just might work.
3. The Solution
The first thing we do is invest in some subservice irrigation pipes that would go
under our classrooms.
After the subsurface irrigation pipes are in place, we make a way that waste water
can flow through.
The waste water that flows through the classrooms will go to the vine and keep it
hydrated.
Rain water will be a big help too so we thought of making some holes, that are
covered in mesh,and will flow through the pipes to the vine.
