Scenarios

**Scenario #1: Drought**
Drought is a very serious issue. It can affect the local economy, environmental, agricultural, and health related issues of the country. A drought is an extended period of months or years where a region or even a country has a deficiency of water. Lacking water for such a long period can lead to serious issues in the society. For example, we don’t have water for our daily living like shower and cleaning. Do not have enough water to cultivate, and affect the productivity in different markets. If it is in a really bad status, we might out of water for living like famine. Moreover, there will be different consequences caused by drought like dust storms, habitat damage, affect both terrestrial and aquatic wildlife, malnutrition, dehydration and different kind of diseases, increases in snakebites, and wildfires.

Must have: - Water transpiration from nearby countries or regions - A reservoir to store the water - Water Should have: - A policy to equally divide the water for each household - Each household has their own reservoir Could have: - Reservoir for the city/village are connected to every household - Built in filter inside of the reservoir, because within the progress of transpiration, the water might get pollute Wants: - If the country is still having the drought issue in the future, they can lay pipes to our country (water provider, if they sign an agreement). For example, China has provided Hong Kong with water this way.

**Scenario #2: Traveling long distance to collect water**
Often, clean water is not readily available within the villages where people live. Developing nations do not have water supply lines running to their houses like we do with running water available to them, the nearest clean water source is often miles away. They usually have to travel long distances to collect water and bring it back to the village for their families to use. Collecting water is often a daily and rather time consuming chore. It takes up a lot of their time and energy to transport water to their homes.

Must have: - Availability of a clean water source that is accessible from the village - Ability to transport the water - Something to store water for transport Should Have: - Mechanism making it easier to transport (like the Q Drum) Could Have: - Larger water container so more water can be transported at once - Clean/filter water while transporting Wants: - A nearby clean water source that can be readily available - Travel a shorter distance to collect water
