When I went to battery park city I was lucky enough to get a tour of the Solaire. I was able to learn how the brown water system works through the pipes, on the green roof and all throughout the building. I was unaware of how intricate the system actually was and how useful the use of recycled water can be throughout the whole building. The surrounding areas were just as beautiful as the Solaire and it’s refreshing to know areas can be so beautiful using recycled water.
In the sewer shed I studied, Red Hook, many new buildings are planning on being built as the area gets cleaned up. It would be incredible if when these new housing developments are being built they would be able to implement brown water systems from the beginning.
