Why Using Stormwater Systems at Home Beats Recycling Your Gray Water

"Do you want a more sustainable home? Like many others today, you can explore various creative ways to reduce your use of resources like energy and water, as well as reduce waste. You can keep better watch or control of your consumption by enforcing household policies with your family, for instance, or reuse items that you would have otherwise thrown out. When it comes to water conservation, you also have to think of limiting excess consumption or waste and promoting smart use throughout the home. One solution that some homes are implementing for water efficiency is the use of stormwater systems. By collecting, treating, and storing storm runoff, these technologies help provide you an alternative or additional supply of water that you can use for a variety of domestic chores like washing your cars, watering your lawn or the plants in your garden and flushing the toilets."

Better Storm Water Management is also a Homeowner’s Responsibility

"The city of Steamboat Springs in Colorado recently initiated a storm water management project that was set to begin May 26, 2015. The project includes the installation of an underground stormwater treatment device that supplements the existing storm sewer along one of the city’s major thoroughfares. The new system is expected to remove litter, sediment, oil and other pollutants from stormwater runoff before it’s released into the Yampa River. To coincide with the project, the city’s Public Works Department also hosted a one day training workshop on May 28, 2015 that aimed to discuss the inspection and maintenance of post-construction stormwater best management practices (BMP). Colorado Stormwater Center was tasked to present the workshop, which was held at Colorado State University."

Stormwater BMP: Infiltration Chambers in Wrightsville Beach, N.C.

The North Carolina Coastal Federation (NCCF) hosted a program last May 28, which brought around 45 officials and civil engineers from all over the country to Wrightsville Beach to evaluate a stormwater BMP concept they pioneered. The BMP involves using runoff reduction techniques that sever the direct connection of rainfall and runoff to local waters. It employed the use of infiltration chambers that let polluted runoff seep slowly into the earth instead of going directly into outfall pipes and local waters.

Residential Stormwater Solutions Help You Reuse Rainwater at Home

Whether you have your own water supply or you rely on the water provided by the city, having a reliable source of water is crucial in any home. After all, there are many everyday situations, such as bathing and laundry, that demand you have enough water on hand. According to research conducted by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the average American family (four people) consumes roughly 400 gallons of water per day. The amount of water that the average American household uses is eye-popping, and homeowners can only imagine how much that usage contributes toward their monthly water bills. Fortunately, there are many ways homeowners can reduce the amount of water they use at home. One such way would be to have residential stormwater solutions like StormChambers installed at home.

Robust Stormwater Systems Help Preserve Water Quality Despite Floods

According to data gathered by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), floods caused $2,861,426,089 worth of damage in 2014. Over the last 30 years, the NOAA estimates that floods have caused $7.96 billion in damages each year. With the devastating effects of flooding well-documented, it is important that city government, industrial, and commercial sectors should have robust stormwater systems in place. With these systems in place, water is safely stored and disposed of before a flood can cause significant property damage.

Natural Storm Water Management is Key to Future Water Conservation

There’s currently no sign of California’s dry spell abating. With much of the state’s sources of water bone dry, authorities have turned to the Pacific for their water need. All eyes are currently on the Carlsbad desalination plant, which will provide San Diego County with seven percent of its water needs. A second plant in Huntington Beach has been proposed but awaiting approval. While desalination plants have created oases in the most arid places, some believe desalination shouldn’t be the long-term solution. In a letter to David Pisarra and his article on desalination in the Santa Monica Daily Press, Matthew King, communications director of the nonprofit Heal The Bay, argued that a more natural course is needed.
