The origin of all sources of water is rainfall when precipitation occurs
All sources of water originate from rainfall. Water can evaporate back into the atmosphere or seep underground, replenishing soil moisture and groundwater levels. Springs are formed when groundwater surfaces, occurring as gravity or artesian springs. Surface water sources include lakes and streams, which provide drinking water, ponds which are too impure, rivers which require treatment, and storage reservoirs, the chief source for large cities.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

- 2. THE 5 ELEMENTS OF LANDSCAPE DESIGN INCLUDE: • Color – It is important to use a complementing color scheme throughout the yard. Sometimes Contrast can create some interest and excitement. • Direction or Line – Linear patterns are used to direct physical movement and to draw attention to areas in your garden. • Form – Form can be expressed through built objects or trees and shrubs of various shapes and sizes which create natural patterns. • Texture – Paving and building materials along with plants with varying textures can add to the atmosphere of your outdoor area. • Scale – Your outdoor design should balance the size of the buildings or established plants it surrounds, while maintaining a comfortable human environment for the individuals who will use the area. ADVANCED ELEMENTS OF LANDSCAPE Water features Stone Shelters Sitting Fencing Sculptures Lightning Other Elements STONE: Stones are hard, impermeable inorganic elements used extensively in landscape architecture. Stones are basically used for the following: •Paving •Retaining walls •Stacked stone wall •Sitting •Shelters The surfaces of pathways or patios that lead to, or are under structures, can be just as important as the structure itself, and should tie into the total design….These pictures illustrate using stone that was already on the site Water Features;
- 3. Shelters SEATING Seating should be sited so as to: • Be sheltered from wind • Take advantage of site views • Be situated back of circulation paths • Provide a variety of options for pedestrians such as… sunlight, shade, multitude, activity, formality, informality etc. • They include benches, stools, ledges, seat walls, steps etc. Paving : Paving is the method of creating durable surfaces laid down on an area intended to sustain traffic (vehicular or foot traffic). The most common modern paving methods are stone and concrete. In the past, brick was extensively used. Today, permeable paving methods are beginning to be used more for low-impact roadways and walkways. They are used to create relatively level areas at different elevations, where changes in elevation can’t be accomplished by grading because of limited horizontal distances or where changes of grade must be accomplished with least disturbance to topography. Used as a Bench wall, Base for a fence, An accent element in the landscape. RETAINING WALLS SEATING Seating should be sited so as to: • Be sheltered from wind • Take advantage of site views • Be situated back of circulation paths • Provide a variety of options for pedestrians such as… sunlight, shade, multitude, activity, formality, informality etc. • They include benches, stools, ledges, seat walls, steps etc. BENCHES Benches, in the cityscape, are a focus of activity and welcome relief for those who wish to sit and relax or simply pass their time between various activities.
