Which of the following is the most appropriate use of untreated stormwater?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

Untreated stormwater, due to its potential contaminants, is not suitable for potable uses but can be effectively utilized for non-potable applications such as irrigation. It provides a viable alternative to using treated water for landscape irrigation, thereby conserving potable water resources. This use aligns with sustainable water management practices encouraged by LEED, which promote the reduction of potable water usage for landscape irrigation.


The LEED Reference Guide for Green Building Design and Construction and the LEED O+M Reference Guide both encourage the use of untreated stormwater for irrigation as part of an integrated water management approach. This conservation strategy is covered under the Water Efficiency category and is a common topic in LEED AP O+M training sessions.

I disagree, I believe the most appropriate use is for cooling water makeup.

Irrigation? Boiler water? Drinking fountain? Nah, I'm going with the classic - cooling water makeup. It's the perfect way to add a little extra 'zest' to your cooling system.

D) Cooling water makeup. It's not like we're going to be using that water for anything important, right? Might as well recycle it.
