Which of the following best describes the institution’s approach to rainwater management?:
No written policies, plans or guidelines, but green infrastructure and LID practices are used
A brief description of the institution’s green infrastructure and LID practices:
The University of Ottawa has an agreement with the City that insists that there is zero impact on the environment from water run-off. As such, the university has included in its site approval plan the zero impact principle.
Above and beyond the campus sewer system, each rooftop at the University of Ottawa has a storm water management mechanism to restrict flow during heavy rain activities.
Additionally, the university’s Sports Field doubles a storm water management system. It is a type of French drain that retains water run-off from the campus before it can reach the community.
