Description
The project will focus on rainwater harvesting, recycling and reuse. It will involve children, parents, local communities and general public. The objective of the project is to increase public environmental awareness on adaptation to climate change issues. Through the project implementation increased volume of reused rainwater will be achieved as well as increased knowledge of children about climate change adaptation measures. The curricula focused on management of rainwater and climatic changes will be modified for the school education programme. Educational activities focused on environment will be organised. Children, students and civil services are expected to benefit from the project implementation.
Summary of project results
The aim of the project was to raise awareness among students within the curriculum during the period of project sustainability (also in continuing long term) in order to protect the environment, increase environmental awareness of students about climate change and sustainable water management. The aim of the project was filled by target indicator values. The project outputs were fulfilled within the limits specified in Appendix No 1/2015 to Project contract no. 872/2014. During implementation of the final construction works (soil removal, land planning) we were given cooperation from the town Velky Krtis, which is the founder of the school. Surface rainwater is drained from large parts of the school area to an area on which we've planted coniferous trees and other plants according to the project. The plants are in good condition, it is not necessary to water them from the water supply system. A water tank with its capacity is useful especially during summer months, which are almost without rainfall. Because of the publicity and organization of workshops school gained the general public awareness of school that cares about the environment.
