Detroit, Michigan. A stadium.
Gridwater Factsheet
Ford Field’s year of gridwater: the water consumed at the power plants to generate the electricity the building used, attributed to the basins it left, hour by hour, and valued at the gridwater index.
Every figure on these two sheets is the sum of the building’s sealed hourly records, and each record recomputes.
