Whole House Rainwater Harvesting: Capturing and Using Rainwater for Potable Applications
For a number of reasons, rainwater harvesting is preferred not just for landscape irrigation but for whole house potable uses as well. Here we present advanced design concerns and strategies including reliability, safety, regulatory and legal issues. Presented to the Conservation Coordination Consortium hosted at Tampa Bay Water, October 13, 2010
Commercial & Industrial Water Conservation: Capturing and Using Rainwater for Large-Scale Applications
Presentation to the Blue Spring Working Group, Deland, FL, September 9, 2010. A Public Forum for Spring Protection & Restoration
Rainwater Harvesting in Urban Settings: Water Conservation for Responsible Development
Rainwater Harvesting as a viable option for builders and remodelers interested in alternative water conservation options. With increased population growth, groundwater and surface water sources are depleted, leading to increased reliance on expensive water sources such as desalination. Offsetting non-potable activities with captured rainwater minimizes reliance on desalination and other expensive resources. Presented to the Remodelers Council of the Tampa Bay Builders Association, 6/24/10.
Rainwater Collecting to Offset Existing Water Uses
After graduating from small rainbarrels, many homeowners consider larger cistern rainwater harvesting systems more practical for large irrigation or other non-potable applications. During this presentation, Brian Gregson of Rainwater Services will discuss practical considerations for scaling up to large rainwater harvesting systems and answer questions from people interested in learning more about whole-house water conservation strategies. Presented at the Tampa Bay Living Green Expo, June 5-6, 2010
