Climate change confronts us with a paradox: some periods bring extremely heavy rainfall, others are marked by drought. This is gradually changing how we manage water.
- 1
Harvest rainwater
A tank stores part of the rainfall and allows that water to be reused for permitted domestic uses.
- 2
Do not discharge all the water immediately
Where technically possible, slowing rainwater drainage reduces pressure on the networks during heavy rain.
- 3
Encourage infiltration where the land allows
Infiltration solutions let part of the water return gradually to the ground rather than reaching the networks immediately.
- 4
Maintain your tank
A poorly maintained tank accumulates sludge, deposits and organic matter. Periodic cleaning keeps the installation efficient.
- 5
Watch your consumption
In dry periods, every litre counts. Harvested water serves uses that do not require drinking water.
- 6
Think about the whole system
Water management is more than a tank: harvesting, storage, infiltration, drainage and pumping sometimes need combining for an installation truly suited to the building.
A new way of thinking about water
For a long time, the aim was mainly to remove water. Tomorrow, we will increasingly have to learn to harvest, store, slow, infiltrate where possible, drain and protect.
