Our Progress So Far

So far in this project we have ran into many different setbacks that have caused us to make some changes to our initial plan. So far, we have learned about recent damage done to Oroville Dam due to failure of maintaining the structure. This is an example of how California is not properly managing our water retention abilities and is an essential aspect when it comes down to managing our water reserves. We have learned that we are not tech savvy, as we were unable to create our website. The idea of a website was very ideal, but not realistic. Also, we learned to think quickly and not let some minor setbacks stop us from succeeding. We both had no background in creating one and struggled in the formatting of it. It got down to the point where it was not productive at all and we were forced to scratch that idea. Instead, we are going to continue our research and take some time to create the video. We are planning on taking the time in class to video some aspects of it. After creating this video, we plan on publishing it on youtube and promoting it. We are also still planning on creating a survey that will allow us to see what a good amount of the public know about water. With the information that we obtain from the survey, we can include it into our video.With the information we have learned so far, we are able to apply it to our day-to-day lives. With the failure of the website, we were forced to quickly think and find a new solution. This applies to everyday events since not everything always goes the way it was planned. This was just another situation of that and we were forced to overcome this one hardship and take a new route.
