My plan to make Brooklyn College a better place

As many of you may know, the W.E.B (West End Building) does not have a flat room. The problem is when rain falls, a lot of that water is going to waste. Instead of letting the water run onto the cement, where there are no tunnels, gutters, or pipes near the grounds, we can make an apparatus that either collects the water to filter and use for later or make a simple model to use that water to generate electricity. Also, some of that water can be channelled to the constantly destroyed and paved grass. That would make for a healthier and more beautiful campus.

Also, as many of you may know, the walkway from the W.E.B to the West Quad building slants down towards the tennis court. All the water that falls is going towards the raised cement that surround the tennis court. Maybe we can make a gutter, to collect all the water at strategically placed and positioned areas so that we can maximize efficiency and minimize cost. Maybe even a gutter than connects to the pipe would work as well.

Some problems are in might get in the way if an apparatus is built to collect the water. A lot of students do go near that building to use it for various reasons, such as club. We can counter that by putting gutters in place, or pipes. But as well, construction can get in the way. It would be best if it was quickly built during a weekend, holiday, or some day where not many students go to school. Building a gutter, or tunnel to collect the rain water that falls down the slanted path near the tennis court might take long. One can build a small one, and then just have a pipe that can connect it to a hose on the grass to water the grass.
