Stormwater runoff was collected from the building roof and stored in a reservoir to use in the County\u2019s spray trucks instead of potable water. A real-time, cloud-based intelligent setup was used to actively monitor and manage the system for approximately 12 months.<\/p>\n<p>After approximately a year of monitoring, the team realized positive results. Specifically, the system was able to prevent nearly all stormwater runoff (150,000 gallons) from leaving the site, significantly increase groundwater recharge (130,000 gallons), and off-set potable water usage for the County (7,000 gallons).<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the team collected water quality samples from three locations within the system, and the overall water quality was good and of acceptable quality to be used for the intended harvesting application.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-15282\" src=\"https:\/\/newsroom.ocfl.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/DSC04409.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"235\" height=\"157\" srcset=\"https:\/\/newsroom.ocfl.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/DSC04409.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/newsroom.ocfl.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/DSC04409-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/newsroom.ocfl.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/DSC04409-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/newsroom.ocfl.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/DSC04409-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/newsroom.ocfl.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/DSC04409-1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/newsroom.ocfl.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/DSC04409-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/newsroom.ocfl.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/DSC04409-785x523.jpg 785w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 235px) 100vw, 235px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs engineers, we want to do the right thing for the environment and demonstrate we have tools at our disposal that can really benefit communities,\u201d said Mike Hardin, Geosyntec senior engineer, who will present the results of the project at conferences and conduct tours at Public Works. \u201cOrange County had the foresight to get involved in this project and provide the space to build and monitor the system, and we\u2019re truly appreciative of that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Water is a vital resource and Orange County is working to implement consistent and innovative strategies to drive conservation of potable water and water reuse programs across its facilities and infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe wanted to collect Florida-specific data and get people familiar with these ideas and cutting-edge technologies,\u201d said Hardin.\u00a0 \u201cWhen we can show the benefits of successful stormwater harvesting, other counties, as well as private businesses, will want to get involved.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Total funding for the stormwater project was approximately $70,000 in the form of labor and materials.
