What is Rainwater Harvesting?
Posted By Becky on October 29, 2014
Water is a valuable resource and rainwater harvesting plays an important role in sustainable development. Because of this, Leiyuan’s rainwater harvesting systems are increasingly included in the standard specification of new buildings.
Rainwater harvesting is a beautifully simple concept: collect the rainwater that falls on your roof, store it on site, filter and re-use it in place of mains water.
Rainwater is free, sustainable, soft and free of limescale and the use of rainwater harvesting helps mitigate local flooding.
On the other hand mains water is increasingly expensive, in short supply, unlikely to meet future demand at peak times, subject to restrictions on usage – particularly during the summer months and a contributor to carbon emissions.
There are many applications in which harvested rainwater can be used. For example, WC and urinal flushing; irrigation and landscape watering; vehicle washing; laundry; and cooling or with fire sprinkler systems.
Leiyuan rainwater harvesting systems are found in a diverse range of buildings, from offices, shops, museums and visitor centres through to universities, schools and colleges, even industrial facilities, like warehouses and factories. Even hospitals, care homes, prisons and apartment blocks can benefit from having a rainwater harvesting system installed.
