Rainwater Harvesting & Storage

The heat island effect of a city is drastically reduced by the plants and gardens that cover it. The ambient temperature of the city is well regulated by the abundance of green vegetation located on green roofs, green walls, parks and gardens. The vegetation and soil profile provides a natural thermal insulation that absorbs and transforms sunlight which provides pleasant temperatures during summertime. The vegetation is an ideal sink for carbon which purifies the air, outputs oxygen and absorbs water runoff.

Water is the medium that makes climate change tangible for all of us. Groundwater levels are already falling across the country and our neighbors. On average, every citizen consumes 121 l of drinking water per day. Small steps are all it takes to make a positive change in your water footprint. Up to 50% of drinking water in private households can be replaced by rainwater. For commercially used properties, the savings can be up to 85%.
