| Abstract/Contents: | Profiles Georgia Institute of Technology's, Atlanta, Georgia, experience with drought in 2007. Explains that "the campus maintenance department had been watering out of the condensate from the campus air conditioning systems. At the tanks near [the] shop, they were able to keep refilling their two, 1,500-gallon water tanks actually faster than they could use the water during the summer. However, when the temperatures cooled to the point where the air conditioning was no longer being used, those two tanks were emptied in one day, with no recurring resource to refill them." Explains that "exploration of water resources turned up an existing, but nearly forgotten, source. A spring runs beneath Bobby Dodd Stadium that would cause structural damage if the water were not removed. Concludes that "[using] reclaimed water before using city water [is] not only environmentally and economically beneficial; it's also part of being a good neighbor within [the] community, [the] region and [the] state." |
