    Sustainable MTA: Beneficial Uses of Groundwater

    Organizer: Ernest Tollerson (MTA) Panelists: Thomas Abdallah (New York City Transit), John Rhyner (P.W. Grosser Consulting)  

    The MTA pumps 8-13 million gallons of groundwater daily to keep subway tunnels dry. Currently, the water is treated as a liability and is routed into the city sewers. This panel discussion will explore possible beneficial uses of this groundwater.
