open in viewerThe purpose of this project was to increase water sustainability by designing a water collection and storage system at the Bomberos’ National Fire Academy in San José, Costa Rica. - Interviews with stakeholders revealed that the key design priorities were for an "effective, beautiful, and inexpensive" system. The project resulted in designs for a sediment filter, water storage tank, rainwater harvesting system, and water recycling system. The proposals provided the Bomberos with a return on investment of approximately three years.
