In order to achieve the project goal of net zero water use for irrigation, an integrated water management strategy for this 16,000 sq. ft. estate was developed. The initial demand is minimized by site appropriate plant species and a highly efficient irrigation system. All site and building wastewater with the potential for reuse is collected and treated. This includes rainwater that falls onto roofs and decks, site stormwater and graywater from sinks, showers and laundry. Below ground storage provides adequate water volume required to meet the site’s irrigation demand even during the summer’s driest months. These strategies result in projected overall water savings of 150,000 gallons a year.
