Summary
In the Spring of 2021 I participated in an interdisciplinary workshop course that was focused on the development of a master planned Smart Sustainability community west of Phoenix, AZ. My group was focused on sustainable water management and green infrastructure systems. Given the location of the development, water management and usage are important aspect that need to be considered through all aspects of the project. The developers of the site had obtained the legal required minimum of water for site development, however, they wanted to have a long range plan for water management that if possible only used the obtained water rights in emergency situations.
