Tree Water Filter

My idea for this project is to create a water filter that collects rain water, filters it, and can be taken by anyone with a cup. It will also have a 3d printed tree on top.

This will function as an art piece and a statement, it will also give something to the economy in an environmentally friendly way. The tree asthetic will make it more visually appealing, but it will also be symbolic. Water is crucial to human life, and a tree is something provided to us by nature. While trees don’t typically provide us with water, it will still send the message that we can get what we need to survive from nature. On top of that, it will provide people with clean drinking water that doesn’t have the chemicals in it that tap water often does.

The water filter will be made, not bought. The supplies needed for this portion are gravel, sand, charcoal, and jugs to hold the filtration system and stored water. I will also need a pump to get the filtered water out. I will need to buy filament to print the tree which costs $0.125 per ounce.
