Thanks for following-up, Cliff. And great idea about the ability to receive e-mails when people reply to your comment. We’ve added that feature now.

Sorry for the late reply. I sorta stumbled onto your reply. How or where do you look to see if you have received an email reply from someone?

I talked with our facilities department about the use of the campus lake and this is what I found out.

We have 352 acres, and maintain approx. 87 acres. Of the 87 acres, we use the lake to irrigate approx. 85% of the 87 acres.

If there are guidelines for more specific information that might be required please let me know.
Thanks Cliff

Thank you, Cliff. That’s exactly the kind of information we would like.

A great resource would be a slightly longer summary of Dallas County Community College’s experience with rainwater harvesting for irrigation and contact information for those who would like to learn more. I’m sure there will be people in the AASHE community that will want to visit or inquire about specific lessons-learned.

Thanks again for contributing!

What sort of information do we need to compile? Our campus was designed in the late seventies (Carter admin.) which was the 1st push for energy conservation. The campus is designed to retain enough rain water to provide aprox. 80% of the irrigation water needed to keep the campus “green”.

Please let me know if you think we might qualify as a part of this study.

Thanks Cliff
