Slimline water tanks have quickly become one of the most popular additions to real estate owners seeking to participate in the ‘green revolution’. Of course, as rainwater can be collected, stored and collected for future use, many will benefit from the financial relief that the use of such water sources can provide. If you find that there are several ways to care for your property without using mu ...
Rising global temperatures means the amount of clean surface water viable for consumption keeps decreasing by the day. Furthermore, it appears this situation may not be changing for the better anytime soon. Due to this and the ever-increasing costs of municipal and facility-treated water, many people have turned toward rainwater as a viable backup source, especially in times of interruptions or dr ...
In recent times, droughts and expanding deserts, erosion from runoff, over-reliance on depleted water sources and the increasing costs of rural irrigation and water treatment facilities have all contributed to water scarcity. And if not addressed immediately, according to American environmental scientist Peter H. Gleick, an estimated 135 million people will suffer from water-related diseases by th ...

The tourism industry—specifically hotels, restaurants and some residential establishments—consumes approximately 84–2,000 litres per person per day and up to 3,500 litres per bedroom per day. Suffice to say hotels and restaurants are dependent on water, second only to air, for their day-to-day operations. But what happens in times of drought or service interruptions? Do establishments stop operati ...

Where freshwater was easily abundant and made available to us at all times, times have certainly changed as major droughts resulting in scarcity of all kinds have affected our qualit ...
A house’s kitchen must be the busiest throughout the day where cooking breakfast, lunch and dinner happen. Ingredients, utensils and work surfaces must be cleaned and washed after every meal, not to mention the mounds of kitchenware that need cleaning after. If one is careless, the kitchen can be a place where a lot of water can be wasted—and where a lot of money (from wasting that water) can be w ...
There is no denying in the necessity of collecting rainwater in this day and age of environmental conservation. Not only are you turning the stored rainwater into a renewable, recyclable resource, you’re also saving money from municipal water costs that come from using treated water for other household needs apart from drinking. The rainy season is right around the corner, and soon we’ll have to e ...
When you live in a dry and arid area, rainstorms can sometimes be hard to come by. These areas are very prone to droughts that could prove devastating to persons and property. The rains that do come are very few and sparse, so you try to collect as much rainwater as you can, not only as greywater but as drinking water—with the right cleaning and filtration methods and systems employed. Therefore, ...
Higher average temperatures mean more water is drying up faster than imagined, and a means to save as much water during the rainy season is seen as a need in dry and arid areas. Even urban and suburban populations have seen its necessity, not only as greywater (non-drinking water for everyday household needs) but also as drinking water (with the correct cleaning and filtrating equipment).
