Hunter Lohse and his father, David Lohse, are TMN members from the Class of 2015. Hunter is currently a Master of Landscape Architecturestudent at the University of Arizona and will graduate in 2022.

Hunter participated in the UArizona 2021 Student Showcase and won Second Prize in both the Sustainability and Environmental Impact Categories. His project, Free Water: An Analysis of Potential Impacts of Large-Scale Residential Rainwater Harvesting, shows how single-family homes in Tucson can benefit. “As this precious renewable resource becomes ever more precarious,” says Lohse, “this study provides a case that municipal programs aimed at making rainwater harvesting accessible to all Tucsonans are environmentally, socially and economically viable.”
