Unlike many other green infrastructure stormwater best management practices (BMPs), typical harvesting and use systems are not as sensitive to the particular sequence of construction, as long as temporary or construction phase stormwater treatment is addressed (i.e., the storage component can serve both temporary or construction phase stormwater treatment needs as well as long-term harvesting needs). Also, installation of harvest and use systems should be coordinated with any concurrent or related construction. An example construction sequence is shown below. | Unlike many other green infrastructure stormwater best management practices (BMPs), typical harvesting and use systems are not as sensitive to the particular sequence of construction, as long as temporary or construction phase stormwater treatment is addressed (i.e., the storage component can serve both temporary or construction phase stormwater treatment needs as well as long-term harvesting needs).

Unlike many other green infrastructure stormwater best management practices (BMPs), typical harvesting and use systems are not as sensitive to the particular sequence of construction, as long as temporary or construction phase stormwater treatment is addressed (i.e., the storage component can serve both temporary or construction phase stormwater treatment needs as well as long-term harvesting needs). Also, installation of harvest and use systems should be coordinated with any concurrent or related construction. An example construction sequence is shown below.
The timing between construction steps can vary depending on the project, with months to years from the start of construction until an entire system is in place. This is often the case for stormwater pond and irrigation use systems. For example, initial pond construction and pump installation in new developments could be completed months to years prior to pump installation and final site work (landscaping and irrigation system installation).
