Does the institution use non-potable water (e.g., harvested rainwater or graywater) for irrigation and/or other applications?:
A brief description of the source of non-potable water and how it is used:
The new Science and Engineering Building (SEB) is a state-of-the-art facility that creates a world-class environment for interdisciplinary research and education.
At SEB, we harvest water in two important ways:
First, rainwater is harvested passively for irrigation. The grade around SEB, including the rock lined swales and detention areas, were designed to harvest roof runoff and slow the water velocity to retain water for landscape vegetation and slow overflow release to the parking lot.
Our second use of nonpotable water at SEB is for graywater. A Pure Water generation system in SEB produces 750 gallons of reject water per day. This water is sent to a tank and pumped to the lavatories to flush the toilets with reclaimed water.
