We are a team of 3rd-5th grade kids. We are participating in FLL (First LEGO League). This year we researched about the human use of water. We found that clean, drinkable water is very scarce. Out of all global water, only 0.006% is potable. In our homes, we use clean water even for things that don’t require potable water.
Our idea is to reuse greywater for toilets. Please find more details about our idea ‘Sink Toilet’ in the attached presentation.

List of Water Management/Saving Methods for Apartment Construction Plan in chennai
1. Recharging Ground Water in Apartments
Water is essential, and it is a finite resource. Groundwater recharge is one method of water management that can help ensure an adequate water supply for future generations. Groundwater recharge occurs when water from the surface, such as rain or melted snow, seeps down into the ground and replenishes groundwater supplies. This process can happen naturally during rain, or it can be assisted through artificial means. Artificial groundwater recharge is a process whereby water is deliberately infiltrated into shallow aquifers to increase groundwater quantity. This can be done through various methods, such as injecting water into the ground or using percolation pits. The volume of water being abstracted from an aquifer over the long term mustn’t exceed the volume being recharged; otherwise, groundwater supplies will dwindle.
2. Greywater System in Apartments
Looking to save on your water bill? Consider using greywater in your home. Greywater is wastewater from non-toilet plumbing fixtures, like sinks, washing machines and showers. This type of water is generally easier to recycle than blackwater, because it contains fewer contaminants. The method and standard of treatment will depend on the size of your system. To avoid confusion with potable water, make sure all pipes and supply points in your greywater system are clearly labeled. With proper care, a greywater system can help you save up to 40% on your yearly water bill.
3. STP System/ Wastewater Recycling
Wastewater recycling is crucial for preserving our water resources. There are two main types of wastewater – greywater and blackwater. Greywater is easier to treat and recycle than blackwater, which contains harmful bacteria that can cause disease. In order to save our communities from the dangers of raw sewage, one should build wastewater treatment plants and enforce laws against its release into the environment. These treatment plants help us recycle blackwater, making it safe to use again. In recent years, it has been evident that there has been an increasing interest in wastewater reuse as a key part of water conservation efforts. If your society banded together to invest in a sewage treatment plant (STP), it could mean an end to water scarcity and the recycling of water 365 days a year. To make this happen, you would need to get consent for operation from your municipal corporation and employ qualified staff to oversee standard operating procedures. However, if you invested in an eco-friendly STP that uses anaerobic methods and requires little energy, mimicking natural processes, then you could make a huge impact without using diesel or polluting the environment.

A Nationwide Problem: Americans Waste 1 Trillion Gallons of Water a YearFrank_Carter
Water, according to The Economist, is the world’s most valuable element. Diamonds, oil, and other expensive commodities on Earth are worth nothing in the absence of water. This resource is essential for sustaining life, and even though mostly unpriced, has no substitute.

Earliest Galaxies in the JADES Origins Field: Luminosity Function and Cosmic ...Sérgio Sacani
We characterize the earliest galaxy population in the JADES Origins Field (JOF), the deepest
imaging field observed with JWST. We make use of the ancillary Hubble optical images (5 filters
spanning 0.4−0.9µm) and novel JWST images with 14 filters spanning 0.8−5µm, including 7 mediumband filters, and reaching total exposure times of up to 46 hours per filter. We combine all our data
at > 2.3µm to construct an ultradeep image, reaching as deep as ≈ 31.4 AB mag in the stack and
30.3-31.0 AB mag (5σ, r = 0.1” circular aperture) in individual filters. We measure photometric
redshifts and use robust selection criteria to identify a sample of eight galaxy candidates at redshifts
z = 11.5 − 15. These objects show compact half-light radii of R1/2 ∼ 50 − 200pc, stellar masses of
M⋆ ∼ 107−108M⊙, and star-formation rates of SFR ∼ 0.1−1 M⊙ yr−1
. Our search finds no candidates
at 15 < z < 20, placing upper limits at these redshifts. We develop a forward modeling approach to
infer the properties of the evolving luminosity function without binning in redshift or luminosity that
marginalizes over the photometric redshift uncertainty of our candidate galaxies and incorporates the
impact of non-detections. We find a z = 12 luminosity function in good agreement with prior results,
and that the luminosity function normalization and UV luminosity density decline by a factor of ∼ 2.5
from z = 12 to z = 14. We discuss the possible implications of our results in the context of theoretical
models for evolution of the dark matter halo mass function.
Nutraceutical market, scope and growth: Herbal drug technologyLokesh Patil
As consumer awareness of health and wellness rises, the nutraceutical market—which includes goods like functional meals, drinks, and dietary supplements that provide health advantages beyond basic nutrition—is growing significantly. As healthcare expenses rise, the population ages, and people want natural and preventative health solutions more and more, this industry is increasing quickly. Further driving market expansion are product formulation innovations and the use of cutting-edge technology for customized nutrition. With its worldwide reach, the nutraceutical industry is expected to keep growing and provide significant chances for research and investment in a number of categories, including vitamins, minerals, probiotics, and herbal supplements.
Richard's aventures in two entangled wonderlandsRichard Gill
Since the loophole-free Bell experiments of 2020 and the Nobel prizes in physics of 2022, critics of Bell's work have retreated to the fortress of super-determinism. Now, super-determinism is a derogatory word - it just means "determinism". Palmer, Hance and Hossenfelder argue that quantum mechanics and determinism are not incompatible, using a sophisticated mathematical construction based on a subtle thinning of allowed states and measurements in quantum mechanics, such that what is left appears to make Bell's argument fail, without altering the empirical predictions of quantum mechanics. I think however that it is a smoke screen, and the slogan "lost in math" comes to my mind. I will discuss some other recent disproofs of Bell's theorem using the language of causality based on causal graphs. Causal thinking is also central to law and justice. I will mention surprising connections to my work on serial killer nurse cases, in particular the Dutch case of Lucia de Berk and the current UK case of Lucy Letby.
(May 29th, 2024) Advancements in Intravital Microscopy- Insights for Preclini...Scintica Instrumentation
Intravital microscopy (IVM) is a powerful tool utilized to study cellular behavior over time and space in vivo. Much of our understanding of cell biology has been accomplished using various in vitro and ex vivo methods; however, these studies do not necessarily reflect the natural dynamics of biological processes. Unlike traditional cell culture or fixed tissue imaging, IVM allows for the ultra-fast high-resolution imaging of cellular processes over time and space and were studied in its natural environment. Real-time visualization of biological processes in the context of an intact organism helps maintain physiological relevance and provide insights into the progression of disease, response to treatments or developmental processes.
In this webinar we give an overview of advanced applications of the IVM system in preclinical research. IVIM technology is a provider of all-in-one intravital microscopy systems and solutions optimized for in vivo imaging of live animal models at sub-micron resolution. The system’s unique features and user-friendly software enables researchers to probe fast dynamic biological processes such as immune cell tracking, cell-cell interaction as well as vascularization and tumor metastasis with exceptional detail. This webinar will also give an overview of IVM being utilized in drug development, offering a view into the intricate interaction between drugs/nanoparticles and tissues in vivo and allows for the evaluation of therapeutic intervention in a variety of tissues and organs. This interdisciplinary collaboration continues to drive the advancements of novel therapeutic strategies.

2. PROBLEM DEFINITION
Potable water is scarce
2.5% is freshwater out
of total global water
1.2% is surface out of
all fresh water
21.39% is potable out
of all surface water.
0.006% out of all global
water is potable
Poor people don’t get
drinkable water
3. PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION
When people use water in their home, they don’t know that most of
the water goes to waste without much use.
When you flush your toilet, you are actually making 3.6 gallons of
potable water go down the drain.
In fact every family wastes 400 gallons on average of the water every
day
Americas wastes 1,000,000,000,000 gallons of potable water every
year!
This is a problem we need to solve
Households use clean drinkable water for everything, even for places
where graywater can be used
4. EXISTING SOLUTIONS
Sea world has developed a sea water toilet
The problem with this toilet is that salt water can rust
the pipe causing it to crack
The Australian government has developed a system
that reuses gray water for several purposes
This is a large scale project
Toilets with Sink
5. TEAM SOLUTION
Our solution is called the ‘Sink Toilet’
This system uses gray water for the toilet
You need to build a pipe that connects the sink
and shower to the toilet
There also needs to be space for a gray water tank
It has to sucks up unneeded water and provide
water when it is scarce
There should also be a pipe from the toilet to the
sewer for blackwater
7. INNOVATION
For the people who install the system, it will save
20% of their original water bill because the
system uses less clean water.
We adapted the idea from multiple reusable
toilets that reuse the gray water for the toilet
We added the idea of getting gray water from the
sink and shower
We also added the idea of gray water tank
8. SOLUTION DEVELOPMENT
Scenario 1: Already built house
Estimated work is breaking current pipes and
making the new design with the pipes
Scenario 2: New house being built
Extra work in adding shower, sink, washer and
dishwasher pipes for gray water and installing
the pipes in water saving design
9. SHARING
Emailed our idea to builders in Washington
state
Created stickers to increase awareness and
distributed them to friends and other teams
