Description
Rainwater is collected from two downspouts, each on separate sides of the building. Underground piping utilizes gravity to convey the water to the galvanized storage tank. The collected water will be used to water the native grass plots on the east side of the Menard Library. A raingarden is planned in order to collect the overflow water from the tank.
