| Abstract/Contents: | Profiles automated rainwater collection systems, suggesting they "are becoming even more attractive to green-minded, environmentally aware homeowners; owners of resort facilities such as golf courses and hotels; commercial clients and office park owners." Explains that "these systems capture and redirect rainwater for irrigation of the property and plantings." Profiles a "customized system for a flat-roofed 'green' home in Orlando [Florida]," reporting that "the recovery system supplies about 59% of the annual irrigation requirements for an average rainfall season in Orlando, where 48 in. [inches] of rain falls, on average, every year." Concludes that "while in dry climates, traditional water supplies will likely be needed on occasion, in rainy climates, the system sometimes captures enough rainwater to eliminate any reliance on utility-supplied water." |
