In this activity students assume the role of water system designers. They have been asked to go to a small town to design a new public water supply system. They must decide how to link all the homes and businesses to the water source so that everyone can get the water they need. The class will work as a group to design the delivery system. As a result of this activity, students are able to build a model of a water delivery system from source to user as they explore factors that need to be considered when designing a water distribution system.
