Why it makes sense to harvest rainwater
40% Grant Aid now available under the Targeted Agricultural Modernisation Scheme Details available on www.agriculture.govt/ or contact goldengerry@eircom.net FOR CENTURIES man has been collecting rainwater in whatever type of receptacle was available at the time.
We in Ireland capitalised on our wet climate for years by collecting rainwater in concrete tanks, barrels and any means available to us. We have drifted away from this practice since the introduction of the Local/group water schemes in the latter part of the twentieth century. Little did we think of the possibility of the prospect of having to pay for this valuable resource â?“ this is about to become a reality for us all.
With the inevitable introduction of water metering and charges for every house, farm school and business across the country, water has become a precious commodity.
We at Golden Rainwater Harvesting aim to provide our customers with an alternative to expensive water charges with our modern Jfc/pioneer/graf rainwater harvesting systems. Our rainwater harvesting systems can save up to 50% on your water charges with a pay back time of as little as two years depending on circumstances. An average annual rainfall of 1,200 mm in the Connaught region means for every square metre of roof area you have, you can collect 1,200 litres of rainwater.
A cattle shed roof area of two hundred square metres could yield up to 240,000 Litres of water annually. Why would you allow this water to run off when you can harvest it and reduce your water charges by up to 50%.
Golden Rainwater Harvesting can supply and install JFC Pioneer & Graf systems with a storage capacity from 1500Litres (330 gals) to 250,000 Litres (55,000 gals) with a full range of Pumps and accessories. We provide a system tailored to requirements with free site visits and quotations.
