, WATER MANAGEMENT

CRITERIONS
• WATER DEMAND REDUCTION
• WASTE WATER TREATMENT
• RAINWATER MANAGEMENT
• WATER QUALITY AND SELF SUFFICIENCY

WATER REDUCTION
▪ LOW FLOW PLUMBING FIXTURES AND TECH IN LOW FLOW FAUCETS
▪ VACUUM TOILETS-VACUUM PUMPS
▪ WATER EFFICIENT URINALS -2.8L/FLUSH
▪ INSTALL SUB METER TO MONITOR WATER USEAGE
▪ IRRIGATION-RAIN SENSORS AND SOIL MOISTURE SENSORS
▪ WATER USED FOR BATHING,KITCHEN RECYCLED AND USED IN TOILET FLUSHING
▪ DUAL PIPING SYSTEM-RECYCLED WATER AND POTABLE WATER
▪ INCREASE WATER EFFICIENCY -PLUMBING FIXTURE REPLACEMENT
o LOWER FLOW RATE FIXTURES
o DUAL FLUSH VALVES ON WATER CLOSETS
o GREYWATER IN TOILETS, IRRIGATION ETC

WASTE WATER TREATMENT

▪ WATERLOO BIO FILTER-ONSITE WASTEWATER TREATMENT

REDUCE WATER USAGE DURING CONSTRUCTION

▪ CONCRETE MIXED WITH FLYASH NEEDS 1-10% LESS WATER
▪ PONDING CURING METHOD
▪ USE OF CHEMICAL ADMIXTURES (ACTS AS ACCELERATORS)
-HIGH RANGE WATER REDUCERS
SUPER PLASTICIZERS
LANDSCAPE
▪ PLANTS-LESS WATER CONSUMING
▪ MULCH : LAYER OF MATERIAL APPLIED ON SOIL TO CONSERVE MOISTURE, REDUCE
WEED GROWTH,INCREASE SOIL HEALTH.
ORGANIC: BARK,WOOD CHIPPINGS,LEAVES,NUTSHELLS ETC
INORGANIC: GRAVEL,SLATE,PEBBLES ETC
▪ PAVING-PERVIOUS CONCRETE-CONTAINS LITTLE TO NO FINE AGGREGATES-
INCREASES WATER TABLE LEVEL.
