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.
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.
Mains water - 0.344m3
Rain water - 0.059m3
The future is decentralized! Producing what we need right from our homes is the best way to reduce our carbon footprint and save our planet.
By 2050 the UK could start to see water supply difficulties if climate change continues. Installing a rain water harvesting system will help you store water for your future needs.
The Uk is in a cost of living crisis causing many of us financial difficulties. With a rainwater harvesting system you can cut your water bills by up to 50%
