Ajjikuttira is approached by people on the phone or in person for guidance in harvesting rainwater. “If we make arrangements to catch all the run-off from the front area and the drying yard, summer rains alone will ensure the well doesn’t dry up,” he says confidently. A recharge well...
That covers the setup of a basic working system that will get you up and running with rainwater harvesting. As you can see from these instructions, you can choose to make it as simple or as complex as you choose. The complexity increases the convenience factor, but also escalates the setup...
My rainwater tank array made from recycled plastic drums, 1300 litres capacity Rainwater is a valuable resource that is largely under-utilised in urban environments. It’s one of nature’s free resources that we can use to grow food, and considering that
Analysis has shown that an optimum tank size exists, which minimizes the cost per unit volume of water. Economic performance measures have indicated that rainwater harvesting system is currently infeasible to be implemented in Brunei; with capital cost and water price being shown to be among the ...
