Stanford is Rain Ready!

We're turning RAIN into RESOURCES! β˜”βž‘οΈπŸ’¦

Stanford University is now capturing stormwater and irrigation runoff as an alternate water source to supplement the non-potable irrigation system.

How it works: 

  • Capture stormwater & irrigation runoff πŸ”„
  • Filter through diversion structures πŸ”
  • Pump to Felt Lake πŸ’§
  • Reuse for campus irrigation🌱

Why this matters:

  • Reduces waste βœ…- Every drop goes to work!
  • Protects local waterways βœ…- Less polluted runoff
  • Smart infrastructure βœ…- Regional facilities = lower costs
  • Drought resilience βœ…- More local water sources

πŸ“ Featured Project: Sand Hill Fields Runoff Intercept Facility is already making a difference!

We're proud partners in Rain Ready California 🌊 - a statewide initiative protecting our waters, reducing flooding, and building a water-secure future.

πŸ’‘ What falls from the sky today, waters our campus tomorrow!
