The scenario method intends to build on the premise that those who can directly control details of housing products including developers, marketing professionals and designers, must interact with potential homebuyers.
Stages of Housing Development Process - Stage 1: Planning and Development Developers and marketing professionals usually identify a target group of homebuyers for a development at the outset of development process, attributing specific needs and preferences to them.
It is equally important to increase the storey height to improve the layout of plumbing installations, particularly for additional horizontal connection to replace the conventional vertical connection of electricity, water and gas [6,7,8].

Root activity, in particular water extraction by the roots, makes water distribution in the soil more complex.
Using an electronic balance for measurements has several advantages, one of the primary benefits is its simplicity and ease of use, which makes it a useful tool for a variety of users, from beginners to experienced professionals.
Water the plant thoroughly, allowing excess water to drain, and record the weight after saturation.
Numerical Modeling Theory 3.1 Water Flow Equations 3.1.1 Continuity Equation Water transport in porous media (soils) involves three different movements: (1) diffusion-convection of liquid water; (2) phase change (liquid-gas) of surface water; and (3) diffusion of (water vapor + dry air) into the gas phase.
From a practical perspective, water transport in soils with low water content can be described in a simplified way using a single equation that considers only the diffusion of liquid water and root water uptake.

In dealing with these negative impacts, environmental professionals confront issues on a daily basis that require prompt, decisive notification, communication and response.
The physical surveillance however has a limitation in term of describing the physical, chemical, and biological characteristics of air, water, soil, and other factors.
This monitoring equipment, then will convert any measured nonelectrical quantity, such as water level, into an electrical quantity that can be stored and processed for measurement of various parameters.
For instance, the water quality monitoring for the parameters of Total Suspended Solid (TSS) and Dissolved Oxygen (DO) normally took 5-7 working days to complete.
The environmental professionals can easily carry the mobile devices with wireless communication connection to the field locations for their data collection and validation tasks [24].

Foreword
Water is of vital importance to human beings.
Construction is often performed by workers who have inadequate qualifications and professional practice.
In accordance with the 73 1210 Standard (STN) the water-resistant concrete applies to the concrete which withstands the water pressure so that no visible seepage occurs outside of the applied water pressure.
The limited value of the water-to-cement ratio determines the application of water reducing admixtures in order to achieve the required consistency.
Bentonite increases its volume under the water action.

Scientific analysis of the leakage of the water distribution system in city is very helpful to water supply network’s maintenance and renovation, and hence reduces negative social effect and economic loss.
Introduction Water supply industry in china has developed rapidly in the past years, but leakage of water distribution system has been remained serious.
Water leakage not only wastes water resources but also threatens communal facilities.
At present the main method to resolve pipe network leakage is using professional instrument to check leakage and then replace or repaire leakage pipes.

The latter can happen in two ways: professional communication (research article) and journalistic report.
The language of technical and professional communication is perhaps one of its most distinguishing features.
Technical documentation is used in most professional contexts.
We believe that it is a desirable to give professionals an opportunity to learn by doing teamwork and projects.

Medical professionals find the prospect of online detection of such analytes exciting, as current practice is time consuming and leads to multiple invasive procedures.
Research Methodology Previous work by the authors [8, 9] has considered the detection of lactate, a known indicator of paraplegia, in water.
To this end, the work involves dilutions of lactate in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) solution, which is analogous to water; at low microwave frequencies (< 2 GHz) the is little variation in spectra between PBS solution and serum.

Solar heating, refrigeration are mainly used for domestic hot water, winter and transitional season heating and cooling in summer; solar energy can be used for building, road, square lighting, landscape lighting.
Solar thermal system meets the heating and hot water demand mainly through the solar collector for heating of air or water.
Not only can be used for building heating in winter, but also can it be used for cooling in summer, but also provide hot water for life.
According to the different heat source, heat pump mainly consists of air source heat pump, water source heat pump and ground source heat pump.
In addition, it also needs more professional support and consideration from the initial design and overall point of view.

Instructors must be equipped with high-standard professional morality, spirit of contribution, courage to shoulder responsibility and undertake hardships.
Our school has signed graduation practice agreements or contracts with quite a number of corporations and units like China Three Gorges Group, Wulong Water Power of China Datang Corporation, Chongqing Surveying and Design Institute of Water Resources, etc., which has guaranteed the success of the yearly graduation practice.
For example, we have each year entrusted the direction of 5 to 8 students to Chongqing Surveying and Design Institute of Water Resources.
Related employers are also in favor of this mode, for they are able to observe the students’ ability of learning and professional skills, which improves the accuracy and success rate of personnel selection.
For instance, (1) to save cement through cement-water ratio optimizing experiments; (2) to increase efficiency through earth work program writing; (3) to lower cost through steel unloading and weighting experiments.
