Water consumption is adversely affected as a consequence of the increasing population in the world, climate change, and rapid consumption in economic processes.
Conscious use of water will only be possible by knowing the concepts such as water footprint and water literacy. When we handle the necessity of protecting water resources, the amount of water available in the world is approximately 1.4 million km3. 97.5% of this water is saline water found in oceans and seas. Almost all of the remaining 2.5% freshwater is stored in the form of ice cap and groundwater in polar regions such as Antarctica and Greenland.

PLANT IRRIGATION SYSTEM
LET’S MAKE A PLANT IRRIGATION SYSTEM
A plant needs water at every moment of its life cycle from germination to growth. Water is effective in seed germination, photosynthesis and growth of the plant.
The growth of a dehydrated plant slows down. If this situation continues for a long time, the plant may dry out.
Water is a vital substance for all living things in the world.
In this learning scenario, we want to design an irrigation system to prevent our plant from drying out while we are away.
In addition, we want to prevent water waste with this system.
Online meetings will be held with students on the zoom platform
