Water Conservation for Mission-Critical Operations
Clovis, New Mexico, USA
As part of the U.S. Military’s Net Zero program, the U.S. Air Force is committed to reducing potable water consumption and improving water resource management. This initiative aligns with the Department of Defense Sustainability Performance Plan, which aims to cut potable water use by 26% and industrial/irrigation water use by 20% from baseline levels.
To support these goals, Greyter Water Systems was selected to implement a water reuse solution at the 42,000-square-foot Cannon Communications Facility in Clovis, New Mexico.
Reduce potable water consumption in a high-use facility
Align with Department of Defense (DoD) sustainability mandates
Implement an effective irrigation system without increasing municipal water demand
Support long-term water security for military installations in arid environments
Capture and treat graywater from ten showers in the facility
Repurpose treated graywater for lawn irrigation, reducing reliance on potable water
Conserve over 500,000 litres of water annually, helping the Air Force meet its Net Zero targets
By integrating Greyter’s graywater reuse technology, the U.S. Air Force at Cannon Communications Facility demonstrates how military operations can implement effective water conservation strategies to enhance resilience, lower costs, and reduce environmental impact.
