EPA Competition: Campus RainWorks Challenge
Campus RainWorks challenges college students to design innovative stormwater management projects for their campus to raise awareness of green design.
http://challenge.gov/epa/364-campus-rainworks
About the Challenge
EPA’s Campus RainWorks Challenge is a competition for college and university students intended to engage the next generation of urban planners, designers, and engineers in the development of integrated, green solutions to our nation’s growing water infrastructure needs.
Every time it rains, urban stormwater carries bacteria, nutrients, heavy metals, and other pollutants into our nation’s waters - affecting tens of thousands of miles of rivers, streams, and coastal shorelines as well as hundreds of thousands of acres of lakes, reservoirs, and ponds. At the same time, growing urban areas and shifting climate patterns are increasing the risk of both floods and droughts.
EPA encourages the use of green infrastructure to help manage stormwater and address related water resource challenges. Green infrastructure uses vegetation, soils, and natural processes to manage stormwater at its source and provide other community benefits. The Campus RainWorks Challenge invites student teams, working with a faculty advisor, to design an innovative green infrastructure project for their campus.
This challenge includes a total of $46,000 in prizes. (that’s for two prizes of $23,000 each)
Registration for the Campus RainWorks Challenge opens September 4, 2012. Entry submittal deadline is December 14, 2012.
