Water
In our desert environment, water conservation is critical. That’s why we’re committed to being strategic about how we use, manage, and conserve water across every part of our airport system. We use efficient systems to make every drop count, while also managing stormwater to reduce flooding during heavy rains. These efforts help protect natural resources and ensure airports remain functional and safe during extreme weather. Our landscape reflects the desert environment we live in, and our planning reflects the challenges ahead. We’re building an airport system that respects water as the precious resource it is now and for the future.
Highlights:
- Data-driven tools help track consumption and monitor for leaks and identify opportunities.
- Drought-tolerant landscaping and irrigation controls that evaluate moisture and only water when necessary, result in significant water savings.
- Cooling towers use technology that allows for increased cycling and fewer water treatment chemicals.
- Our facilities are equipped with low-flow, high-efficiency fixtures that use 20% less water than conventional fixtures.
- We're managing stormwater to reduce pollution and flooding risks.
- Public awareness is supported by a terminal-wide conservation education campaign.
