Grey water reuse in Cape Town, South Africa. Rainwater Harvesting. Go Green and Save!
Jul 072010

It seems as though sometimes we get way too much rain (especially in Cape Town) and then all of a sudden it stops coming down and we do not have enough. A solution to this inequity is the use of Water Tanks installed by Water Rhapsody. Using water tanks, one can collect rain and stored it for later use.

In North America, these tanks are also called rain barrels, in the UK they are known as rain butts, in Australia they are called Plastic Water Tanks and in South Africa, water tanks or rainwater tanks. No matter what you call them, their purpose is to collect water from rainstorms that can be stored and used later. Usually the tanks are above ground receptacles but sometimes they are built in the ground. This is particularly the case in extremely arid climates where residents fully expect long periods of drought.
