Sustainability Problem and Proposed Solution: 

This project works to protect the local water supply by decreasing the demand on potable water for non-potable uses such as irrigation. Not only does this project save water, it saves energy as well because the water is acquired and distributed on site rather than transported mechanically for hundreds of miles. The bigger image that this project projects is an act of sustainable and innovative forward thinking, something that UCSC is known for.
