Abstract
The "Rou Dalagurr Food Sovereignty Lab Rainwater Catchment System Retrofit" is an ENGR 205 design project created to help provide the Food Sovereignty Lab at Cal Poly Humboldt with accessible and sufficient rainwater. Designed and constructed in the fall semester of 2026, a group of ENGR 205 engineers (Team QOAD), wanted to make it possible for the FSL to have consistent, accessible water to use at the Wiyot Plaza. After the design and construction was completed, the FSL now has access to ~ 500 gallons of rainwater to use to water the various garden plots around the Wiyot Plaza.
