Webinar: The WaterHub at Emory- A Case Study for Water ReUse

March 13, 2019 @ 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm EDT

Free

The Atlanta region has witnessed numerous water-related stresses, including severe drought, EPA mandates resolving critical infrastructure issues, and an extended political dispute over water rights. In 2013, Emory University explored ways to implement a strategic water master plan through campus-wide water reclamation and reuse. Commissioned in May 2015, the WaterHub® has displaced over 220 million gallons of water to date and is designed to recycle potentially 146 million gallons annually – displacing 35% of Emory’s total campus water footprint. This case study will provide a comprehensive water management plan and discuss innovative financing techniques to guide facilities planning, maintenance, and operations.
