- W67185301 abstract "Maintaining clean is increasingly becoming of concern across the globe. That concern has brought Integrated Water Management (IWM) additional attention on campuses. IWM can be transformative for historic campuses and their communities. No campus is an island--yet every campus is surrounded by above and below ground. Every curb, parking lot, or rooftop forms a kind of riverbank for surrounding creeks, aquifers, and lakes downstream within the larger watershed. Water is an enduring connector between town and gown that we are only now beginning to understand in terms of its importance in regional well-being. Many campuses are known for their distinctive aesthetics, such as the river gorges surging through Cornell University, St. Mary's and St. Joseph's Lakes at the University of Notre Dame, and the Lyman Lakes created from a stream dam at Carleton College in Minnesota. At the new campus of the University of Colorado in Colorado Springs, re-created dry stone arroyos lace downhill between housing and academic facilities. As a functioning piece of stormwater design, the arroyos not only facilitate the drainage of during flash floods following storms, but they also show 21st-century students how the traditional foothills landscape appeared before the advent of suburbanization and the engineering of stormwater into underground pipes. Each of these varying campus features is significant as a historic landscape shaped by humans and as an ecological resource in a larger watershed. For many reasons, including heritage preservation, economics, scarcity, and evolving federal regulation, understanding the lessons of pre-settlement hydrology will become a critical planning focus for campuses at all scales in the coming decades. Given increasing ground contamination in California's Central Valley and the Midwest and scarcity in the rapidly growing Southwest, Integrated Water Management (IWM) practices are becoming essential just to maintain communities and campuses at their current size. The potential for a warmer climate, longer summers, and extreme droughts and storm events may further overwhelm current approaches for acquisition and treatment. This article defines IWM and its importance in meeting evolving state and federal mandates including the Clean Water Act as enforced by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Now applied to large cities and building projects, it is likely that these strengthened (and potentially controversial) mandates will eventually regulate inputs and outputs for smaller communities and for corporate, medical, and higher education campuses. Yet, these demands can also create new opportunities for cost savings, habitat restoration, and campus design. Thus, we will explore how campuses can create a water aesthetic that highlights their unique institutional histories, ecological regions, and landscape architectural heritages while also improving quality. The article also includes a sidebar that provides details of strategies for incorporating management into campus planning along with other helpful resources. Integrated Water Management practices are becoming essential just to maintain campuses at their current size. THE PROMISE OF INTEGRATED WATER MANAGEMENT Over the past 20 years, universities have focused their primary conservation efforts on energy usage. While such initiatives are productive and easy to validate, the water-energy nexus has been largely overlooked. These two critical resources are inextricably and reciprocally linked: the production of energy requires large volumes of while the treatment and distribution of are equally dependent upon readily available, low-cost energy. The majority of today's campuses are not taking advantage of the resources that are available. There are large volumes of that go unaccounted for--the rainwater that falls, the wastewater that is generated by occupants, and the large amount of from mechanical processes such as air conditioning condensate, cool tower blowdown, and filter reject water. …" @default.
