Rainwater
Harvesting
Rainwater harvesting simply collects the rain which fall onto roofs, then stores it in a tank until required for use. When required, the water is then pumped to the point of use, thus displacing what would otherwise be a demand for mains-water. In the process, a volume of water is kept out of the storm-water management system, thereby helping to reduce flooding risks.
More recently, water demand has started to exceed supply, and localised flooding has become an issue. Industry experts are now recognising the important role that rainwater harvesting (also known as rainwater recycling, and greywater recycling) has to play in alleviating both these problems.
Considerations for fitting a rainwater collection system to an existing property:
-
The external drainage from the roof needs to be modified to bring the water to a central point.
-
Access for the tank and excavation is required.
-
Internal plumbing is usually required to be seperate out the drinking (incl. bathing) water from the non-drinking water (WC, washing machine & outside tap.
Types of Rainwater harvesting systems we offer:
-
Domestic systems including potable upgrade where appriorate
-
Garden/irrigation systems
-
Commercial systems (bespoke)
-
Greywater recycling systems (bespoke)
-
Overall advice on the suitability of all of the above with regard to the Code for Sustainable Homes and BREEAM standards.
