Rainwater Management Techniques Used

Rain gardens

Several gardens will help absorb and retain rainwater runoff from impervious areas.

Bioswales

Swales help to remove silt and pollution from runoff.

Greenroof

Partially or completely covered portions of rooftop are a growing medium with a waterproofing membrane.

Permeable Paving

Pavers allow the transfer of air and water through the paving materials.

Wastewater Harvesting/Reuse

Wastewater from aquaculture tanks is diverted from the sanitary sewer and used for urinals and toilets. The whole system across the University replaces 4ml of potable water.
