→Rainwater Harvesting
This report by TRCA highlights the multiple LID installations located at Edwards Gardens, a botanical garden located at 777 Lawrence Avenue East in Toronto, Ontario and owned by the city. The retrofit of the Edwards Gardens parking lot introduces several new technologies to add to the existing Low Impact Development (LID) practices onsite – an extensive [[Green roof]] and a [[Rainwater harvesting]] system, along with [[Bioretention]], [[Permeable pavement]], [[Infiltration trenches]], [[Exfiltration trenches]], and [[Swales]]. The stormwater management benefits of the LID practices implemented onsite help to improve the quality and reduce the volume of runoff discharging to Wilket Creek, nearby. To read more about the various LID practices at Edwards Gardens and their performance, click the button above.

This report by TRCA evaluates the effectiveness of a rainwater treatment system that is not only capable of:
*removing chemical and microbiological contaminants,
*providing safe, treated water at all points of use in the system, and
*providing enough water to meet household demands immediately when it is needed
But, that apply the use of an ozone-based water treatment and disinfection system to render rainwater potable when collected through domestic rainwater harvesting systems. Click the button above for the technical brief to see the comparisons of using ozone, UV radiation and chlorine as effective disinfectant and see which one is best.
