Description
Adequate supply of clean water is one of the major
challenges facing humanity for decades to come. For
every flush of a toilet, 1 to 3 gallons of clean water
is used. To put this in perspective, the World Health
Organization recommends a minimum of 5 gallons of
water per person per day for washing, cooking, and
drinking. To conserve water and the associated energy
required for produce clean water, our research
focuses on recycling of rainwater by rerouting the
plumbing of a house to connect to an outdoor rain
catcher. Design of replacing clean water with rainwater
for a typical house is presented.
