Project Tatooine: Rainwater Harvesting ==> 0% complete
Proposal
In an extended grid-down scenario or other potential disaster, the water supply could be impacted. Therefore a solution for harvesting water for non-potable uses is needed. This will include various water usage scenarios such as flushing of toilets, watering plants, washing clothes, and so on.
Steps to complete
-
Develop harvesting system to maximize roof capture of rainwater from downspouts while it is raining. -
This should include methods of most effectively filtering out debris.
-
-
Map out system and determine number of barrels. -
Set up rain barrels to capture water from rain. -
Purchase one barrel, install and test basic system. -
Testing should include a substantial rain event, such as 1-2" of rain in a single event.
-
-
Purchase and install remaining barrels. -
Test full system. -
Fully document the process for generating and storing water.
