Rainwater Harvesting

UK water supplies are under stress due to increasing individual consumption, changes to rainfall patterns caused by climate change and because of population growth.

Rainwater harvesting is a proven technology, systems have been around since the early 1980’s in Germany, therefore any potential problems have been worked through and solved.

The rainwater is not usually harvested for drinking purposes, however to meet off-grid and other project -specific requirements some manufacturers are able to provide solutions which can bring the water up to potable quality. 

The harvested water is ideally suited to non-potable purposes such as watering the garden, washing the car, flushing the toilet and use in the washing machine.
