sprinklers is: the unnecessary times they go off during the day, the wrong
locations they are in, and how much water they use in a certain area. This
addresses the problems facing where sprinklers are located and if they
are/arent being effective. We want to propose the idea that we can change
the habits of these sprinklers by creating better rules and regulations. This
the amount of water we use and can help us to create better habits for our
environment.
Problem
As some students take the bus or drive onto campus, they notice these
water sprinklers going off at unusual times during the day. Not only that, but
they have seen the sprinklers spraying water on the concrete, where nothing
grows. This can be seen as a huge problem on our campus because it shows
how unorganized in planning the use of the sprinklers were and how we
continue this wasteful routine. This cycle creates water waste, making our
school pay for something that is hurting them more than benefiting them.
Solution
Kamehameha because they will use less water and be more sustainable.
However there will be some work to fix the sprinklers but it will fix the
enormous amount of water the sprinklers use. We would also like to suggest
either getting rid of/moving certain sprinklers in efforts to save money, save
water through the sprinkler system. However would require a lot more
money, supplies, time, and help. Another solution we wanted to consider was
a rain detector so the sprinklers dont go off when it rains. A solution we also
thought about was a soil moisture sensor that would monitor if the soil was
wet enough to see if we had to water it again or not. With this we can save
This project can help us to save money and water by just changing
certain water sprinkler habits on campus. The main goals of this project is to
get the people in charge of the water sprinklers to change their system. We
want them to see first hand how their water sprinklers are creating problems

would need the time to take out the sprinklers that are not in the right places
and put them in different places. Also we need to monitor the times the
sprinklers go off and to monitor the soil moisture in the grass and plants. This
successfully will take a lot longer, due to other parts that we may not be able
to control. The project can be pitched out to the workers but the only way it
follows through is for the workers to find the rain sensor and soil moisture
system.
This project does require special knowledge and we will need the
not need tools depending on if we are able to get rid of and or move water
sprinklers. Another thing we would need to know how we can manipulate the
sprinklers so that they only spray the grass. We would have to know the
correct angle and position for each sprinkler for it to work to its full potential
and water the grass and plants. We also need to know where each sprinkler
what the sprinklers are like spraying the concrete and spraying the other
would benefit the campus. If there are better sprinklers that can better the
amount of water and sprinklers in the area it could save water and money for
the school. Although buying and installing new sprinklers would be a hassle it
Conclusion
we do feel that this will benefit our Kamehameha High School Kapalama
campus for the better. As weve said this project focuses on a water problem
at our school and is something we would like to fix. This project will hopefully
inspire more student led projects and will give students the opportunities to
