Water is one of life’s most precious resources
and we all have a responsibility to preserve it.
The Facts
- The population in the UK is increasing.
- Climate change may bring less rainfall per year, further reducing available water.
- 1/3 of the drinking quality water we use per day is flushed down the toilet.
- Water availability per person will continue to reduce unless we do something about it now.
- As urban development continues, less water is allowed to infiltrate the ground or join watercourses.
Reduced Water Usage
Collecting rainwater where it falls and making it immediately available for reuse makes perfect sense. It also eases the rate of flow into the local stormwater management network.
As well as saving water and energy and reducing bills, rainwater harvesting makes ideal use of local resources whilst reducing the impact of new developments on the surrounding infrastructure.
With only simple storage and filtration rainwater can be used to replace expensively treated mains water for use in toilets, garden and outdoor use. In this way, rainwater harvesting can reduce mains water use by up to 50%. Mains water would still be used for cleaning, hygienic use, cooking and drinking.
