Feasibility Assessment for the Harvest and Storage of Stormwater from the Nova Canal System for Use as a Reclaimed Water Supplemental Source in Volusia County

摘要

This document reports on an investigation of the feasibility of diverting stormwater from the Nova Canal basin drainage system to supplement regional reclaimed water systems, or other non-potable uses. The Nova Canal drainage basin is located in east-central Volusia County and drains into the Halifax River. The study area is the 11th Street Canal, Reed Canal, and Halifax Canal basins, which all drain into Nova Canal and are located in the cities of Holly Hill, South Daytona, and Port Orange, respectively. The average potential stormwater yields from the 11th Street, Reed, and Halifax canals are 3.4 mgd, 5 mgd, and 2.2 mgd, respectively; with a maximum yield of 4.5 mgd, 6.5 mgd, and 1.7 mgd, respectively. Of the 2.2 mgd yield from Halifax Canal, 1.2 mgd is already permitted for diversion through Bushman Pond. The storage requirements for these yields are 250 ac-ft, 400 ac-ft, and 250 ac-ft, respectively.
