What is the rainwater harvest system?
• The concept is simple - utilize a modular system that will capture, store and
reuse water.
– Modular is key here
because the purpose of the rainwater harvest system is earth friendly and it
doesn’t make sense to ship hollow containers, it’s a waste of fuel and only
adds to Carbon Dioxide production.
• Traditional rainwater
harvesting is designed using plastic barrels (55 gallon drums) or large above
ground and below ground cisterns where the water is stored.
• We are taking this
traditional rainwater harvesting concept and combining it with ecosystem
technology.
– The re-circulating
ecosystem eliminates the concerns of stagnant water associated with
traditional rainwater harvesting options.
Why
the need for a rainwater harvest system?
• It’s a fact - 50% of
residential water is used outdoors and the water coming out of our taps is not
as good as rainwater…and it’s not free!
• The importance of
capturing rainwater alleviates run-off from the excessive amounts of rainwater
falling on impervious surfaces such as roofs, sidewalks, patios, driveways and
compacted soils.
– This water is
typically channeled away from the site and lost within the storm water
management system.
• It is during this
journey that the excess water picks up a variety of pollutants and toxins, this
mixture of pollutants is wreaking havoc in our natural water ways.
– According to the EPA
45% of our river and stream miles are not fit for fishing and swimming.
– Urban runoff is the
#1 cause of coastal pollution.
– By capturing and
slowing it down we’re stopping this unfortunate cycle and along the way we
have a great free source of water.
• Our overflow is
designed to recharge precious groundwater reserves and closes the circle on the
best rainwater system available.
Why
rainwater harvesting?
• Self-Sustaining Water
Features
– Capturing rainwater
to operate the water feature allows it to be truly self-sustaining by
drastically reducing, if not eliminating the need for the system to be topped
off with tap water.
– Instead of shutting
down water feature installations in regions experiencing severe droughts, such
as the southeastern and southwestern United States, the rainwater system can
be a solution.
