RAINWATER REUSE: HOW AND WHY

June 17, 2009

2:00 PM to 4:00 PM

Houston Galveston Area Council Building

3555 Timmons, 2nd Floor, Conference Room B

(MAP)


Our first three speakers will share 'nuts and bolts' insights into rainwater harvesting and reuse, including:

-  how to determine and meet demand for irrigation systems operating on recycled rainwater,

-  how to determine water availability and cistern size,

-  the technologies and systems required to reuse rainwater inside the building envelope for non-potable uses.

Our final speaker will explore the economics and other reasons behind his firm's decision to use recycled rainwater for irrigation, non-potable uses inside the building and for cooling system makeup in a major new Houston-area facility.

Who we are and the constituencies we represent
 
   
 

Monthly meetings of the Forum are held at a rotating roster of conference facilities offered by supportive agencies and organizations located throughout the Houston area. Presenting speakers have expertise or hands-on experience to share on land/water sustainability issues. [more]

 

SUSTAINABILITY  From the verb to sustain, meaning: to hold up; to bear; to support; to provide for; to maintain; to sanction; to keep going; to keep up; to prolong the life of.   SUSTAINABLE Capable of being sustained; capable of being continued with minimal long-term effect on the environment.

 

Our mission is to enhance, enable and integrate sustainable use of land and water for the Houston area's continued growth and economic vitality.

Across this country and the world, new ideas, methods, materials and technologies aimed at positively impacting the sustainability of land and water resources have been widely adopted, some are even being developed right here in Houston. This forum has been formed to provide exposure to the full range of these practices, to encourage their adoption, their adaptation where needed for the conditions found in our community—and to foster creativity in both the development of new solutions and the regulatory infrastructure that enables them.

Maintaining the pace of growth and development in the greater Houston area requires that those with a vested interest adopt new ideas and employ new methods that will insure that growth can be sustained. The forum seeks to engage the broadest possible range of constituent groups, in a collaborative effort that focuses on practical application rather than abstract theory in the exploration of incremental answers to some of the Houston area's most significant land/water sustainability issues.
