A brief description of the institution’s sustainable wastewater systems and technologies:
UC San Diego has a pilot program for reclaiming and recycling wastewater on site. Wastewater from showers and lavatories is filtered and treated. The water is collected in an underground tank and used for below grade drip irrigation for all planting areas on the site as well as for the green roof. An estimated 365,000 gallons per year is recycled at this pilot project.
