Sustainable Water Treatment & Reuse for Designers & Developers
Whole Water Systems principals are pioneers in sustainable onsite water treatment and have been designing natural biological treatment systems including constructed wetlands for more than twenty years. Sustainable development today is grappling with how to treat and reuse water in projects. LEED gives credits for water treatment and reuse; at the forefront of green design, the Living Building Challenge mandates it. Conventional treatment technology is centralized, expensive, energy intensive and difficult to translate onsite to buildings or developments. Whole Water will cover in this presentation proven onsite water treatment solutions that offer benefits of being attractive, inexpensive, little-to-no energy, flexible, robust and low maintenance – including pictures of residential and commercial constructed wetlands that are attractive amenities to the landscaping. (Also included will be a brief digression with pictures on European natural swimming pool and swim pond technology which uses constructed wetlands instead of chlorine and Whole Water is introducing to the U.S.) Come learn how to talk with clients about sustainable water treatment & reuse options and to become comfortable putting “sexy” and “wastewater” into the same sentence.
