Rainwater Management Techniques Used
Rain gardens

Bioswales
Swales will help to remove silt and pollution form surface runoff.
Underground Storage

Wastewater Harvesting/Reuse
Wastewater from aquaculture (fish) tanks, diverted from the sanitary sewer, is used for urinals and toilets. The whole system across the University replaces 4ml of potable water.
