Thompson, Andy
Rainwater recycling could help to provide a solution to drought crisis - 2006 - Building Engineer 81(9) September 2006, 16-17(2) .
Proposes rainwater recycling as a valuable contribution to alleviating water shortage. Much of the water we use does not need to be of drinking quality and studies have shown that 55% of domestic treated water and 85% of water used in commerce and industry could be substituted with rainwater. Describes the relatively simple installation of rainwater recycling systems and the financial savings from reduced mains water usage. Suggests that the UK market for rainwater recycling, which has increased by around 300% in the past two years, will continue to grow and that rainwater recycling systems will become an integral part of new housing and commercial developments in the future.
