Water storage and reuse plan to mitigate effects of drought, and manage stormwater runoff.
This project aims to offset imported water demand by harvesting local stormwater and dry-weather runoff and using it for park irrigation. Through this project, the City hopes to integrate the concept of green infrastructure water use systems for future landscaping, and to educate developers, engineers, and architects on green infrastructure design principles.
