Water Scarcity, the true cost of water

It’s time to act now on the rising issue of water scarcity. If we choose to leave the problem, our drinking water supplies could be at risk of not coping with a growing population and increasing drought periods in warmer months. Although water is relatively cheap in the UK, the true cost on our surroundings is often not considered. Read more here.

The Global Water Summit 2022: We must act now

Do you know about The Global Water Summit 2022? The event is currently taking place in Madrid and is designed to encourage conversations about the future of our water supplies. Conversations around water financing, strategy, new technologies and innovation will take place so that industry leaders can consider their strategies going forward. One key area that the leaders will be talking about is water reuse, a technology which is becoming more widely used in new and existing buildings.

Get ready for the surge of Water Recycling

Water recycling is becoming more widespread than ever before as organisations look to reduce their impact on our climate. Our climate is becoming warmer, and our population is growing, resulting in a surge of demand for drinking water supplies across the world. In the UK, regulations are also changing to ensure everyone considers a water recycling system for their new developments. We’re using this blog to help you prepare for more water recycling systems in your buildings and developments so we can all save water together!

Protecting your rainwater harvesting system for the long term

So, you’ve successfully installed your new rainwater harvesting system or, you’ve just moved into a building which has a system, what’s the next step? Like any mechanical or electrical machine, rainwater harvesting systems need to be maintained to ensure they operate safely and efficiently. A programme of routine maintenance means you can continue to benefit from rainwater harvesting for the long term.

Water Sustainability in Education

 

Although only 28% of people are aware of the current water crisis, it still plays an important factor in the coming decades unless we make a big change. The Chief Executive of England’s Environmental Agency himself has stated that we may be facing a tipping point where demand surpasses supply of water in just 25 years’ time.

Water Sustainability in the Leisure Industry

Like many other industries, hotels, swimming pools, leisure centres, gyms and other leisure venues all use large amounts of water each day to provide memorable experiences for thousands of guests. But what if we could provide memorable experiences for the whole family without relying on ageing water infrastructure?

Adapt or Die, England faces water shortage of 3.4 billion litres per day, (says EA) and Rainwater Harvesting could be the solution!

‘Adapt or die’. That’s the message from the UK’s Environment Agency in their latest report to be released next week. The message acts as a stark warning to not only governments, but to our wider society that we need to adapt our water consumption habits to prevent water shortages in the future. One way we could do this is through rainwater harvesting! 

Sustainable construction with rainwater harvesting

It is important now, more than ever, that everyone has a good understanding of sustainable construction so that we are equipped for future challenges!

That’s why we’re going to be using this week’s blog to delve deeper into the concept of sustainable construction and why building more sustainably is essential to combat future water stresses.
