Answer to Question 1

Gutters, cisterns, storage tanks

Answer to Question 2

a. Convert centimeters to meters of rain ( cm =  m).
2.5 cm  100 cm/m = 0.025 m
b. Calculate the volume of rain on the rooftops, in cubic meters. (Hint:Volume
= area of rooftops m calculated in question   depth of
water m calculated in question a.)
1,300,000 m2 x 0.025 m = 32,500 m3
c. Convert the volume of water collected from the rooftops to gallons.
(Hint: Multiply your answer from question b by  gal/m.)
32,500 m3 x 264 gal per m3 = 8,580,000 gal
