U H I M I T I G AT I O N - E VA P O R AT I V E C O O L I N G WATER Specific heat capacity of water is 4.19 J/g.K

Methods:

So it takes 4.19KJ to heat up a litre of water by 1C.

1. Pond The pond will be adapted from the existing water reservoir It is located south of the site with full solar exposure and in a position for the wind to carry the cool air onto the site

https://www.slideshare.net/lyramatalubos/specific-heatcapacity

Theconversation.com

2. Water fountain

The dispersed water from fountains has a larger cooling effect than the still water Addiontally, the spray can wet nearby objects and reduce the surface temprature Fountains require very little water as it remains in circulation

www.walmart.com

freepik.com

They can decrease air temperatures by 3C and the effects can be felt up to 35m away

3. Water mist system Outdoor water mist systems connected to the rainwater harvesting system will allow to balance humidity, reduce external temperatures and improve comfort levels during very hot days. Will only be used on very hot days to minimise water use 29

F I N A L D E S I G N - P R O P O S E D M AT E R I A L I T Y The Science: How Green Roofs Benefit the Environment and Public Health Stormwater Runoff

U H I S T R AT E G Y

Green roofs retain rainwater long enough for the collected moisture to evaporate from the soil and rooftop vegetation (see Figure 1). During wet weather events, this helps prevent runoff from overwhelming sewers (and causing sewage to overflow into local streams and lakes), reduce basement backups, and lower treatment costs and energy usage for treating rainwater that enters KCMO’s combined sewer systems.a Some green roofs are equipped to harvest rainwater as an alternative water supply for later use. Rainwater captured from green roofs is usually used for irrigation, flushing toilets, and for other non-potable purposes.

Stormwater retention is a function of size of storm events and length of preceding dry periods. Over a simulation year, the net water inflow may not balance outflow due to changes in soil moisture and saturation.
