THE HYDROLOGIC CYCLE99% inaccessible (saltwater/ice)1% precipitation, runoff,

Current US average residential water use

With water recycling – 25% reduction

With water recycling and on site treatment – 40% reduction

WATER CATCHMENT

Simple techniqueReduces consumption for potable water

Deduces storm water runoff and subsequent floodingLowers cost of water supply

ELEMENTS: Catchment, conveyance, purification, storage, distribution

WATER REUSE AND RECYCLINGusing water more than once in a building

Water Recycling: reutilization for same applicationWater Reuse: reutilization for different application

(for example a graywater system)

POTABLE WATERUsually treated, for drinking

RAINWATER

GRAYWATER SYSTEM: Wastewater NOT containing food and human waste

BLACKWATER SYSTEM: Wastewater containing food and human waste

Architectural Issues: Water Reuse can be celebrated and used as a learning tool (expose storage and treatment systems)
