Come and learn what the Dayton Development Coalition is Doing to Bring New Business to The Dayton Region
Need water for your daily operations?
The Dayton Region is H2Open for Business.
There's good news about water in Dayton. Located in southwest Ohio, the Dayton Region is drought-free and welcomes water-intensive businesses and industries to share its abundant water resources.
Rivers and streams readily recharge the groundwater supplies within the aquifer, making this groundwater a truly "renewable" resource. In fact, the public water supply systems in the Region have excess capacity. Readily available water is so expansive that the Region is able to tap the aquifer for geothermal systems to cost-effectively heat and cool buildings. This not only offers your business another economic advantage, but also reduces greenhouse gas emissions.
The spring 2009 Seasonal Drought Outlook from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration brings continuing bleak news to many states. Droughts will continue to impact states across the country from North Carolina to California; droughts in Texas, New Mexico, Nevada, Georgia and Alabama are expected to persist. But the Dayton Region has more than 6,000 miles of rivers and streams to recharge a vast, 1.5 trillion gallon buried valley aquifer.
ABUNDANT AND RENEWABLE
Many factors have created this water-rich environment, and these factors will sustain the water supply while many areas of the nation continue to struggle.
The Dayton Region aquifer system consists of highly permeable sand and gravel deposits that store a huge quantity of groundwater. The aquifer underlies the permeable river and streambeds, creating plenty of opportunity for surface water and precipitation to recharge the groundwater. Proper protection measures ensure that the aquifer is available as a long-term, healthy fresh water supply.
Our Value Proposition, Your Business Opportunity:
- Total aquifer storage of approximately 1.5 trillion gallons of groundwater.
- Principal drinking water source for an estimated 1.7 million people.
- Award-winning source water protection programs and sole source aquifer designation by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
- Yields in excess of 2,000 gallons of water per minute are routinely achieved.
- Much of the groundwater maintains a constant temperature of 56 degrees Fahrenheit, providing a valuable source of geothermal energy that can reduce heating and cooling costs.
In fact, the surface water is so abundant and of such high quality that people travel from surrounding states to experience the Region's sport fishing excitement and to ply the waters by canoe and kayak. Bike trails also follow the rivers and provide land-lovers with a drier recreation option.
- Enjoy world-class trout and smallmouth bass fishing via the many public launch points for power boats or canoes and kayaks.
- Bring your bike, jogging shoes or rollerblades and enjoy more than 300 miles of paved trails.
Beyond the GREAT CORRIDOR, you will find another 6,400 miles of perennial rivers and streams in the Great Miami River Watershed. Major tributaries to the Great Miami River include the Stillwater and Mad rivers and Twin and Wolf creeks.
The Dayton Region offers a sustainable source for the world's most important resource-water. We invite you to Get Midwest and discover the opportunity.
