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:
• Rainwater Harvesting in several facilities across Tasmania (660kL capacity) with rainwater being used for toilet flushing mainly.
• Rainwater Harvesting system at Inveresk Architecture Building has just been connected to infrastructure at the Fine Furniture Building to enable the watering of the newly installed student communal food source garden beds via rainwater.
• Water Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD) wetlands installed in the TUSA car park at Sandy Bay Campus to slow down, filter and evapotranspirate stormwater run-off, to minimise and clean water entering the stormwater drainage system that empties into the Derwent River.
• Rainwater harvesting at Inveresk in the Urban Realm landscaping, to irrigate community vegetable gardens.
LID practices are normally considered by project managers/steering committees of new build projects.
