In our schools we are developing an environmental education project and appropriate technology
based on the use of solar energy in summer and the collection of rainwater in winter.
In order to implement it in our homes
In our urban and rural areas collect rainwater in containers or external tanks,
in Europe, covencionales systems of rainwater harvesting are technically advanced and high cost.
In other countries with large containers are made modular.
Our Ecomuro We constructed with reused PET plastic containers and interconnected with each other.
The rain water from roofs passed through the channels and the principle of communicating vessels
is deposited in the containers in ascending order to ensure efficient and consistent filling.
For the physical characteristics of PET packaging to withstand liquid pressures above 60 PSI
found that less than adequately support the containers weight "Ecomuro" whole.
Environmental campaigns in our schools is very easy to collect the containers
thus contributing to the reduction of solid waste.
For the preparation of "Ecomuro", the containers are drilled and threaded junction system are assembled.
We used the perforated lids and heat thermobonded to complete their union.
With the participation of students and parents proceed to assemble the modules.
To develop our "Ecomuro Cisterna", we are using containers three-liter soda
containers have the property that the base is thick enough to pierce
and make a proper screw to attach the containers to each other, see how they perform the process.
Once we have drilled, we begin to draw the thread.
Made the thread, we use these accessories to attach the bases to each other. To join the ends
bottles used perforated lids, to join the ends.
Once this process, we began to arm the Ecomuro, threading the bottles each other
completing a total of 54 containers to form a module.
Once formed modules, tests are water pressure and re mounting with
its structure.
With his active participation in the decoration of the wall Teaching students appreciate the import of
this natural resource, with issues such as water cycle, the care and stop the use of rainwater,
generating a change in attitude towards the culture of water stewardship.
Within educational institutions, we have sensitized our environmental proposal, teachers,
students, parents and general servivios people.
We have also sensitized communities, presenting our work at various meetings
district, as pedagogical and national forums such as science and technology fairs and festivals in the water.
We got in the company of three other district schools and on behalf of the Secretary of Education
first place prize "to the culture of District Water Care" 2009.
In addition the proposal was selected among the top seven projects nationwide award
"Youth steward of water 2011"
Who knows how the rainbow is formed? Because there is rain, because if there is rain!!
And that part will fall into the water? -of the clouds! , - On the roof!,-And where do we collect it?
In the channel! - The channel! -A clear carcasses, 'And if a valde outside is filled with water
and there you see the full valde rainwater and takes him to the house, if it is the water used in the water!
+ Rain water - drinking water.
