38. EWB Domestic’s Mission
oEWB Domestic provides engineering
services to local communities in Wisconsin
o Because these projects are based in Madison area
everyone is able to help with implementation
o Hands-on engineering experience
o Faster project turnaround compared to other
EWB subgroups
o Everyone can take part in all aspects of a
project from planning to implementation.
39. Past Projects:
Reflo Landscape Architecture Project
o Worked with Reflo, a
company in Milwaukee
that designs water-catching
systems
o These systems help
reduce runoff going
into lakes and rivers
o Our partnership with
Reflo has helped us
find past and current
projects
40. Past Projects
Heartland House Pergola with Auquablox
A pergola was
designed to collect
and store rain water
for future use to
water gardens
Design was never
able to be
implemented, but
concept might be
reused for future
designs
41. Edible Landscapes
Project, UW-Madison
• This project will be on
campus!!
• Location:
By the tennis courts
on lake shore next to
Cole Hall
42. We hope to build a
similar Pergola
with aquablox to
the one from the
Heartland house to
make this area
fully self
sustainable.
43. Leadership Opportunities
o Because this is a new project there are
many opportunities for leadership in
small groups
