Rainwater harvesting
Slide2The harvesting of rainwater simply involves the collection of water from surfaces on which rain falls, and storing this water for later use. Normally water is collected from the roofs of buildings and stored in rainwater tanks. Water can also be collected in dams from rain falling on the ground and
these assist
the draining away of water.
Slide3What is rainwater harvesting
Rainwater harvesting means capturing rain where it falls or capturing the run off in your own village or town. It involves taking measures to keep that water clean by not allowing polluting activities to take place in the catchment area. Rainwater from rooftops should be carried through downtake water pipes or drains to
a storage/harvesting
system. Water from sloping roofs could be caught through gutters and downtake pipes. At terraces, the mouth of each drain should have wire mesh to restrict floating material.
Slide4Slide5Over the last number of years, Cloudbrook water company has successfully expanded into all activities of the rainwater recovery and water treatment sectors in Ireland and beyond. The utilisation of cutting edge technology easily integrated with
