Stormwater Reuse
We started this project with clearly defined objectives although they changed over the course of the semester. From day one, our main goal was to supplement the use of potable water with storm water in some way. Whether it was in a University building, a residential area or a student garden, our goal was the same: reduce inefficient use of potable water. After meeting with Armando, we decided on implementing a storm water system in the proposed FMSEAS building would be the best approach because it would have the highest likelihood of actually being implemented by the University. At this point, our objectives were clear. We wanted to gather enough information about the project to construct a cost benefit analysis and determine whether the system would be justified both financially and socially. Additionally, we hoped that our report would convince the committee that the idea was not only feasible, but necessary, hopefully persuading them to implement our design.
