[Summary & Motivation] [Community] [Specifications] [Issues] [Contacts] [Documents / Pictures]

Summary & Motivation
Project Initiator: ATS
Start Date: August, 2005
Projected Completion Date: Not applicable
Current Status: Implementation stage

At ATS, all the water currently comes through the city water lines. As such, it is expensive and wasteful when used for some applications. Since ATS is concerned with showcasing itself as technically advanced and environmentally friendly, the engineers have been looking into implementing new ways to reduce city water usage at the site.

A report has been compiled which shows the current usages of water and suggestions for ways to reduce that water usage.
