Instituto Technológico de Nogales (ITN)

Campus projects demonstrate the capture and utilization of stormwater onsite to reduce flooding issues, improve stormwater quality, beautify the campus, and engage students from a variety of disciplines.  Faculty and students from ITN have been central to developing waterharvesting system plans and designs and implementing systems through hands-on workshops.  Additional groups involved in the project include the Sonoran state water utility (CEA) and members from a coalition of organizations working to promote reforestation and environmental issues in Ambos Nogales (Asociación de Reforestacion de Ambos Nogales, or ARAN).
