Need statement: The Green Infrastructure Collaborative (GIC) is would like a map that highlights
opportunities for water reuse on the UVM campus.
Background: We want information on total rooftop area on campus, the volume of stormwater created by
these surfaces per year, the total black water and irrigation usage of the related buildings, and how much
water the building could conserve by installing a storage and reuse system. The GIC would use this
information to find water use efficiency upgrade data for each building. UVM could also use this
information to engineer cost saving retrofits for some of their buildings.
Statement of need: The final product will be a map of the UVM campus with buildings labeled, and
corresponding data for each building (rooftop stormwater generated, yearly water use, opportunity for
water conservation).
Spatial extent: This study is focused on the UVM campus.
Ideas/resources to consider:
 UVM Stormwater Management Page
 VCGI – VT Center for Geographic Information
 UVM Physical Plant
 ANR Natural Resources Atlas
