Activity 4.7.1 – Landscaping
Procedure
1. list the seven fundamental Xeriscape areas that must be considered when designing a landscape.

Planning and design
Soil analysis
Practical turf areas
Appropriate plant selection
Efficient irrigation
Use of mulches
Appropriate maintenance

2. Describe/define what the term “Xeriscape” means.

Xeriscaping and xerogardening refers to landscaping and gardening in ways that reduce or eliminate the need for supplemental irrigation.

3. What part does shade play in water resource management and human comfort?

water resource- forest improve our air, protect our water, save energy, and improve economic sustainability.
human comfort- it give shade on hot days in the summer, gives you a sence of privacy

4. How can it be incorporated into landscape design efficiently?

pick a tree that is easy to maintain, make sure that it fits the aree that you are look at


5. When is it appropriate to provide shade and when is it not appropriate?

its only appropriate to plant tree's, is whaen you dont have any. if you plant to many the property will become over grown.

6. list the criteria that should be followed when selecting plant material for a site.

Select trees, shrubs and groundcovers based on their adaptability to your region's soil and climate.

UtilitySourcescombined sewer overflowsDistribution MethodsSerial distribution: use a step-down to restrict flow out of each trench in the seriesDistribution box (d-box): divide the flow between lateral trenches.SizeMinimum of 8-inch diameter linesMinimum easement width for water/sanitary sewer mains: 5ft on each side of the pipeSchematic Symbols· P = Sewage main hole (soil & waste)· STP = Sewage treatment plantQuestions:1. How do you determine how large a utility supply must be in order to support the demands of service?By the amount of people that are connected to the line. Or the amount of people in the area.2. Explain why you chose above or below ground installations for your utilities.Underground- it doesn’t take up the room on the surface, but it is hard to get to when there is a break because its under ground. Above ground-easier to take care of but, takes up land that could be used.3. Why do so many different utilities use many of the same terms?It makes it easier to communicate with others when different places use the same terms.

Questions 4.6.2

1. Determine the following information about the PLTW firehouse plan:

· What is the diameter of the existing water main? 6"

· What is the diameter of the proposed water service? 8"

· What is the elevation of the top of the hydrant? 301.79 ft

· What diameter pipe is used for the building’s sanitary sewer line? 6"

· Where is the gas meter to be located? south end, middle of outside wall

· What is the spot elevation in the front left-hand corner of the building? 300.0 ft


2. Why do you think red is the color used to depict electricity? cause its a hot wire, electricity is running thought it, its dangerous and it could be a warning

Questions 4.4

1) In what ways do engineers use design to control traffic differently on an arterial opposed to a feeder street?
Direct traffic.

2)What are some of the factors you would have to consider if you were asked to design a new parking lot for your local library?
Slopes, ways people would enter and exit, ect.

3)How would the design of ingress or egress change if a building were to be used as a day care center instead of a senior center?
More exits.

3.2 Questions

1. As the developer of a piece of property, what are the factors you need to consider for cost effectiveness and success in your development?
right materials you need, and you need to know what kind of soil you rbuilding on, like area levels, etc.

2. How are the selection of a site and the project being planned for the site inter-related?
Helps with making the plans.

3. What criteria or constraints, imposed on your site, can be changed and how would this influence your decision about the development of the property?
the soil, that is on the property that someone would like to build on, cause it could be unstable, witch would make it harder to build on. it would take more work so it would be easiar to go some where else.

4. Who are the current and past owners of the property?
