A middle school notices that stormwater from the parking lot flows into a storm drain that empties into a pond. After heavy rains, the pond often has an oily rainbow sheen and fewer insects are seen near the shore. Students want a design to reduce pollution from the parking lot. Criteria for success: (1) reduces oil and dirt entering the storm drain, (2) requires minimal daily labor, (3) can be installed without digging deeper than 15 cm. Constraints: must not block emergency vehicle access; must be safe for students; budget is $1,500. Proposed designs:
  • Design A: Install a vegetated rain garden strip next to the lot that water flows through before reaching the drain.
  • Design B: Close the parking lot on rainy days so no water can flow.
  • Design C: Paint a large warning mural near the drain that says "No Pollution."
  • Design D: Place a tall wall around the entire parking lot.
Multiple solutions are possible. Which solution meets the constraints and is most likely to reduce the impact?
