Which of the following best describes the institution’s approach to rainwater management?:
Comprehensive policies, plans or guidelines that require LID practices for all new projects
A brief description of the institution’s green infrastructure and LID practices:
Native and drought-tolerant plant selections and designs have been made as a response to the Governor's call to reduce water consumption by 20%, and to incorporate all necessary strategies of rainwater retention and low water usage throughout the institution.
The campus utilizes various forms of bioswales, which include rock, grass, and vegetated swales in recent and future design and renovation areas. To date, the campus has renovated approximately six (6) landscaped areas from turf to vegetated and rock swales.
Reduction of water consumption is a state-mandated practice due to recent droughts. Rainwater retention through naturally-occurring hydro-logic features on campus has recently become an adopted design practice. Additionally, campus storm water infrastructure and management are being incorporated into campus beautification and landscape management strategic planning.
