BEST PRACTICES FOR MAXIMUM BENEFICIAL USE OF RAINWATER

摘要

Our work with rainwater management systems (RMSs) has taught us to view rainwater as a critical resource. Well-designed and properly calibrated rainwater management systems have numerous benefits. They avoid or mitigate stormwater impacts, minimize infrastructure demand, filter pollutants on site, provide for site amenities, and more. By capturing, filtering, storing, and cycling rainwater to appropriate, exterior and interior uses, these systems achieve multiple design objectives, including Low Impact Development (LID) goals and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) mandates.
