2010 Milk River, Alberta, Canada
Tierra Maggrah from Erle Rivers High School discuss the problem of the amount of water consumption in Canadian households; her solution achieved one of the top ranks in the 2010 Caring for our Watershed Grade 7- 9 division.
Tierra Maggrah concerned about how much water the average household uses in Canada; specifically the quantity used in her community and wanted to do something about it.
Tierra knows that most people consume water by using it to maintain a nice yard, so she proposes 
that
a rain barrel be placed at each home which would be used to water plants.
Her proposition of using rain barrels to obtain water as an alternative to regular tap water is a solution to reduce the consumption of water in the household.
Tierra’s implementation plan involves the purchase of 30 rain barrels, of which 3 were raffled off at the Community Stewardship Forum.
The remaining 27 rain barrels were sold at a subsidized cost at the community forum to off-set the implementation cost.
