Potable (safe to drink) water is essential for all forms of life on earth. In order to be responsible citizens of the world, it should be our goal to ensure that the available water supply remains intact and uncontaminated so that life as we know it can continue to flourish. Fortunately, the costs of achieving this goal are small in terms of finance and effort. This goal has two parts; conservation and quality maintenance.

Storm Water Management
A storm water management area near ARC Residence Hall will be developed to hold several inches of water. A retaining wall will be built to allow retention of water during and after a storm. The water will then be diverted into the storm drain system. The area will also have sidewalk paths for persons to tour the area. Vegetation will be utilized to improve the water quality, and signage will inform visitors about the project.
