Thousands of gallons of unused water from park buildings like the Reuben H. Fleet Science Center and Casa de Balboa are currently draining into the sewer system, causing erosion and damage. A pilot project is proposed to reclaim rainwater, air conditioning condensate, cooling tower condensate, and reverse osmosis by-product to substitute for potable water in irrigation and other outdoor uses. This could drastically reduce potable water usage for irrigation, decrease erosion and maintenance costs, and achieve significant savings on water bills while providing a potential model for other park areas.

Water Reuse: Benefits and Challenges
This document discusses water reuse in Australia. It notes that water sources are decreasing due to climate change and population growth is increasing consumption. Around 19,000 GL of water is consumed annually in Australia. Water reuse can help by providing an independent water source for purposes like drinking, agriculture, industry, and more. It discusses several successful water reuse projects in Australia like the Virginia Pipeline Scheme and challenges like public opposition to the Toowoomba water reuse plan. Overall, the document argues that water reuse is important for a sustainable water supply in Australia given the decreasing availability of natural water sources.
Grey water recycling
Grey water recycling involves reusing water from bathroom sinks, showers, tubs, and washing machines in home applications like landscape irrigation. While grey water contains grease, hair, and dirt, it is generally safe for irrigation use as it has not come into contact with excreta. The benefits of grey water recycling include recharging groundwater, using nutrients in grey water to help plants grow, and reducing energy and water bills. However, grey water recycling can spread disease if not implemented correctly and stored grey water may develop odors after 24 hours. It can also damage soil through salt buildup over time.
RAINWATER HARVESTING
The document discusses reasons for water shortages such as population increase, industrialization, urbanization, and deforestation. It then defines rainwater harvesting as the direct collection of rainwater that can be stored for use or recharged into groundwater. There are two main types of rainwater harvesting: rooftop rainwater harvesting, where rainwater is collected from building roofs, and surface runoff harvesting, where urban rainwater runoff is caught. The advantages of rainwater harvesting include being easy to maintain, reducing water bills and flood risk, and lessening groundwater demand.
Greywater recycling introduction
Greywater is wastewater excluding toilet water that is discharged from households, including water from showers, sinks, washing machines, and dishwashers. It makes up 50-80% of household wastewater. Greywater recycling treats and reuses greywater for applications like irrigation and toilet flushing in order to reduce fresh water consumption and wastewater production. Greywater treatment systems range from simple diversion systems to more advanced systems that filter, treat, and disinfect greywater to a higher quality for more uses.
Rainwater harvesting
1. The document discusses rainwater harvesting techniques that encourage planting of drought-resistant plants which recharge 90-95% of rainwater while improving the environment.
2. Existing rainwater harvesting pit designs are ineffective and unpopular with citizens due to issues like limited space, high costs, and appearance like "deserts".
3. The author proposes an alternative design called "rainharvester" that allows for both direct reuse of rainwater and groundwater recharge through layers of sand, gravel and charcoal to filter runoff.
GREY WATER RECYCLING SYSTEM
Greywater, or wastewater from sources other than toilets and kitchens, can be recycled to reduce water consumption by 35-40%. A case study examines recycling greywater from 225 apartments using a REVOSIS system to treat 49,500 gallons per day. This saves over $324,000 per year and pays for itself within 1.5 years. The treated greywater is used for toilet flushing and irrigation to significantly cut fresh water usage.

It has become increasingly important due to rising water demand and depletion of groundwater sources. There are two main types of rainwater harvesting - rural models which use traditional structures like tanks and step wells to facilitate irrigation and drinking water, and urban models which typically involve rooftop catchment and storage tanks. The benefits of rainwater harvesting include supplementing water sources, reducing flooding and soil erosion, and replenishing groundwater through recharge.
Plaza De Balboa Smartscaping
The document summarizes a proposal to "smartscape" the Plaza de Balboa area of Balboa Park in San Diego with drought-tolerant landscaping and an innovative water reclamation system. It aims to capture water from the cooling towers and HVAC systems of nearby buildings like the Fleet Science Center to irrigate the landscape, rather than using potable water. The project would reclaim over 100,000 gallons of water monthly through rainwater capture and building system condensate in a pilot phase. If successful, it would help beautify the park while conserving water resources through smart landscaping and irrigation upgrades.
Rooftop rainwater harvesting system.
Rooftop rainwater harvesting (RRWH) is a technique that collects rainwater from a building's roof and stores it in tanks or uses it to recharge groundwater. RRWH helps conserve water and provides a source of potable water, especially during dry seasons. The key components of an RRWH system include the roof catchment, conduits to transport water, filters to treat water, storage tanks, and recharge structures. Stored rainwater can be used directly for non-potable purposes like washing and gardening, while excess water can recharge groundwater through bore wells, dug wells, or percolation tanks. While RRWH has advantages like reducing water bills and improving groundwater, it also has
Study of urban flooding

Park Boulevard median run off elimination
This document summarizes an irrigation retrofit project along Park Boulevard medians in San Diego. A team replaced existing spray nozzles with MP Rotator nozzles to reduce irrigation runoff. The new nozzles apply water at a slower half-inch per hour rate compared to the 2+ inches from the spray nozzles. This allows water to soak into the soil rather than run off. An audit after installation found lower application rates and more uniform coverage with the rotators. Runoff was eliminated, saving an estimated 20% of water usage. The retrofit improved landscape health with no pooling or runoff.
How to plant native plants…
Native plants are easy to plant with a few simple steps: clear the planting area, dig holes twice as wide as the plant's pot but not as deep, gently place the plant in the hole and fill with soil an inch above the surrounding soil, water thoroughly by digging a basin and filling it until the soil is saturated, apply pre-emergent and mulch around the plants, and regularly water newly planted plants for their first year as their roots establish.
Balboa Park mapping zones
City staff now have interactive maps of water infrastructure in Central Mesa, including mains, valves and backflows, displayed through Google Earth technology. The maps allow staff quick access to information to identify best locations for repairs. Workshops will offer training to staff on using the maps, and plans are in development to map additional areas of the park.
Smart irrigation control - poster
The smart irrigation control system installed in Balboa Park significantly reduced manual labor costs and water usage by automatically adjusting 60 controllers and their 24-48 zones based on real-time weather data. This solved problems of under-watering, over-watering, and plant/soil damage from the previous manual system. Labor hours for shutoffs decreased by 90% and water usage was reduced while expanding public access and use of the park. Further system features may provide even more savings and benefits in the future.
Smart irrigation presentation
