Hi everyone,

This presentation might interest some of you. The info that my group is contributing to the presentation is for an experimental small-scale rainwater harvesting system proposal at the botany greenhouse for its staff and UW farmers. 

Hope to see you!

Water, Stormwater, & Sustainability on Campus:
Student research on the University of Washington's impact on water

Friday, March 9
2:00 - 3:00 pm

Wallace Hall, POE Commons

Students in POE's Sustainability Studio spent this quarter researching options for more sustainable use of water on UW's campus! This presentation is your opportunity to learn from their work. Projects include:

• Case Studies of Permeable Pavement on Campus -- decreasing the impacts of runoff on water quality.
  

• Small- and Large-Scale Rainwater Catchment Systems on Campus -- using rainwater for laundry and the landscape.
  

• Profiles of Student-Led Water Sustainability Projects on Campus -- supporting students to have impact on the campus environment.

If you have any questions, please contact Justin Hellier at hellier@uw.edu.
