Rain Water Haresting Systems

The concept of capturing rainwater and storing it for later use is well documented from pre-Roman times and on all the major continents, although in industrialised countries, until recently, the practice had largely died away with the introduction of reliable mains-supplied water.

With the ever-growing demand for water (and subsequent increases in cost), and the known adverse impacts this can have on local environments, the UK market demand for rainwater recycling systems is on the increase - mirroring what has already taken place in other industrialised countries.

Currently, this relatively new industry (insofar as the UK is concerned) is at an embryonic stage and needs to work together to ensure that its benefits are brought to as wide a market as possible. In so doing, the reputation of the industry and its products needs to be safeguarded in the interests of all parties and, in particular, the environment.
