This is a small depression in the ground planted with shrubs, perennials, and flowers which is designed to capture and infiltrate water from impervious surfaces.

This plant's cherries contain a seed which is used to make a warm beverage. They contain a chemical that alleviates fatigue, is addictive, and increases the pain relieving effects of aspirin and acetaminophen.

A person can live approximately this long without water.

In the summer of 2005, UConn withdrew so much water from this river that a mile-long stretch ran dry.

Areas made of, or covered by, impenetrable materials.

Some of these types of plants survive in nutrient-poor soils by trapping and consuming animals or protozoans , typically insects and other arthropods.

About 68.7% of fresh water on Earth is found where?

These two rivers are currently UConn's main source of fresh.

These materials can be used to replace impervious surfaces such as asphalt or cement. They serve the same purpose, but allow for infiltration.

Plants in this category grow on other plants but are not parasitic, and include numerous ferns, bromeliads, air plants, and orchids growing on tree trunks in tropical rain forests.

70% of what human organ is water?

This facility, which opened in 2006, replaced several oil-fired utility boilers and increases efficiency by burning natural gas and using the waste heat from the process to create steam for heating and cooling.

Green infrastructure is an approach to water management that protects, restores, or mimics this.

This plant has the largest flower in the world, at up to 3ft wide and 15-24 pounds. The blooms only last 3 days to a week, but while open give off the smell of rotting meat.

Water weighs about this many pounds per gallon.

UConn holds this ranking on the Sierra Clubs top 20 Coolest Schools list.

Dr. Clausen did a study at UConn which found that in our region of the US, these types of green infrastructure retain about 50% of the water produced from a rainfall event.

This plant is a living fossil- carbon dating tells us they live from 400 to 1500 years. All their close relatives are extinct, but distant relatives include pines, spruces, larches, and firs. It grows only one short stem and two leaves during its entire lifespan.

Each day, this bodily function causes us to lose a little more than 1 cup of water.
