Rainwater Harvesting
Sustainable Water Sourcing
On average the UK experiences 133 days of rainfall each year giving us a carbon free supply of our most precious recourse. But as climate change progresses, and we experience the extreme weather that comes with it, we will face water supply challenges most homes aren't ready for. But if we act now and preserve our water stores we can prevent water shortages by 2050.
Rainwater Harvesting and Carbon
When rain water falls on to our roofs it is clean and clear with virtually no contaminants. Historically humanity have harvested rainwater and repurposed it throughout the home but since the introduction of mains water supply all that water runs off on to the roads picking up pollutants along the way. To clean and pump that water back out to your home produces around 6% of the Uk's GHG emissions. By installing a rainwater harvesting system and repurposing that water through the home you can save up to 285kg of Co2.
Reducing your reliance on mains water supply reduces the amount of carbon released into the atmosphere
Mains water - 0.344m3
Rain water - 0.059m3
