Experiences with Rainwater Harvesting & Greywater16/12/2009 |

| The weather on the morning of the conference, with flooding reported in several parts of the UK, followed by further devastating floods across Cumbria only two or three days afterwards, remind us that the behaviour of rainwater in the UK seems to be just as ‘boom and bust’ as our own economy and construction industry. |

It was clear from the day that there is a great deal of interest in RWH and GWR and these innovations will undoubtedly have a place in any integrated approach to water management with the correct development of valid, well thought out standards and guidelines, these techniques will surely become mainstream. Germany is estimated to be installing fifty times more RWH systems than we currently use in the UK and as we have seen during this conference Australia are leading the way with the uptake of RWH, borne out of necessity - how long before we're suffering the same degree of water stress ?
