Which of the following best describes the institution’s approach to rainwater management?:
A brief description of the institution’s green infrastructure and LID practices:
Under the previous Campus Plan in 2008, the University prepared a sustainable campus stormwater management plan, which focused on low-impact development and landscape-based stormwater management strategies.
To reduce rainwater/stormwater runoff and improve outgoing water quality, the University employs green roofs, rain gardens, bioswales, porous pavement on paths and in parking lots, and manufactured treatment devices (ex. jellyfish, and other inlet filtration devices).
Recent building projects have also incorporated rainwater collection tanks and condensate systems for reuse in toilets and landscape irrigation.
Since 2006, these stormwater improvement efforts have been implemented on more than 100 acres of campus, reducing annual stormwater runoff by 23 million gallons over this time frame.
