An average home's roof displaces a tremendous amount of water from rain. Harvesting
this crucial resource and using it toward landscaping, washing vehicles, developing a
vegetable garden, and other everyday uses, harvesting water will save you money--but,
just as importantly, this practice helps people learn to pay attention to other approaches
to home economics that will save both money and resources (for example, weatherizing
one's home, collecting energy from the sun and wind).
Below is a chart developed recently by the Florida hydrologists showing the cumulative
impact that our growing population of people is having on the efficacy of our state's
aquifers. In coming decades, to deal with the stresses on our water supplies, there will
be
increasing costs and fees associated with water usage.
Harvesting water, and incorporating this toward your landscape, home garden, or other
activities, such as washing one's vehicle, is relatively easy and inexpensive.
Water from your kitchen, laundry, and sinks is called 'grey water'. With little expense
and labor this water can be used for landscaping and gardening.
The efficient use and re-use of water is among the most important changes that one can
develop in an urban area.
Ecocentric Solutions, Inc. helps homeowners develop water harvesting and grey-water
systems. We can install a variety of water-harvesting systems that incorporate rain barrels,
produce grey-water recycling systems, as well as point you in the right direction
with regard to contractors that install gutter systems.
More, we can help the do-it-yourselfer find the best quality material and products to
develop your own water harvesting and recycling system. 
Irrigation
Existing irrigation system practices and technologies are extremely inefficient and
wasteful. Ecocentric Solutions will inspect your property and correct some of these
inefficiencies.
We have all seen the absurd scene of an irrigation system functioning during a
prolonged, drenching rain. A simple solution to preventing this happening is to install a
rain sensor. The installation of these devices is inexpensive, and goes far toward
conserving our water resources.
Give us a call and we will come to your property for a no-cost, initial inspection of your
home. |
