SURFACE WATER  Reservoir  Advantages  Easily Accessible  Less Pumping  Large  Disadvantages  Capital Costs  Water Loss  Siltation GROUND WATER  Wells  Advantages  Inexpensive  Natural Minerals  Disadvantages  Energy  Smaller

SLOW SAND FILTER  Advantages  Reliable  Minimum maintenance  Disadvantages  Larger land area  Filtration Rate: GPM/ft 2 RAPID SAND FILTER  Advantages  Small, Compact  Flow Rate: 2-3 GPM/ft 2  Disadvantages  More treatment  Pathogen removal

CHLORINATION  Advantages  Kills most biological pathogens  Disadvantages  Produces some carcinogens OZONE  Advantages  Powerful and effective  Disadvantages  Forms Bromate  Does not kill biological pathogens

 1. Source  Groundwater  2 Filtration  Slow Sand Filter  3. Disinfection Method  Chlorinization and Reverse Osmosis  4. Storage  Water Tank

 Water Conservation in homes  Toilets: low flow flush valves  Showers: low flow heads  35% reduction

 Treatment options  Municipal Wastewater treatment  Septic Tanks Evaluation Criteria - Size - Maintenance - Efficiency - Environmental - Appearance

 Sand Filtration  Constructed Wetlands

 Once processed, the sludge is nutrient and can be used as fertilizer and compost.  Treated water can be used in farming.

Average Daily Consumption: 31 kWh

 Power  Cost  Efficiency  Sustainability  Land / Space usage

-Geothermal -Passive Solar -High Efficiency Gas Furnace -Electric Heat Pump Heating and Cooling

-Efficiency -Environmental -Aesthetic Appeal -Implementation Cost Criteria: Determining the best option.

Sustainability comes through the integration of multiple systems. Lennox XP21 Heat Pump Passive Solar Heating

 Water:  Ground water source, slow sand filter, chlorination combined with reverse osmosis  Waste water:  Municipal  Heating  Combination of passive solar and Lennox system  Energy  Combination of PV and geothermal
