The challenge treats water as a precious resource that can be reused many times and then purified again into potable form. It asks projects to mimic natural water flows in a healthy ecosystem, where the wastewater from one organism is drinking water for the next.

IPE Cont'd: The final option with ipe is to router a groove along the side of the boards and use concealed fasteners to fit into these grooves, with the fasteners secured to joists below. The cost of the predrilled boards is higher — as is the cost of the fasteners — but the labor cost is lower. It may still be a wash on pricing, but the finished product will be more seamless. Cost: $9 to $11 per square foot
IPE WOOD Pros: This very dense tropical hardwood has become popular in recent years as a longer-lasting alternative to commonly available woods. Ipe can be sealed to maintain its deep reddish color, or it can be left untreated, in which case it will turn a brownish gray over time. This material is said to last 25 years or more.
