Hose pipe bans on the way

Water, water everywhere, but not a drop to spare....

No doubt you will have seen in the national press a story concerning the North West of England and the mounting concerns regarding water restrictions. It is very likely after a dry spring season, that hose-pipe bans and perhaps reduced water pressure could be in place shortly. Also, we have seen the warmest weekend of the year, following an above average temperature week.

For me this highlights the need to conserve our most basic of resources, what we are saying here is that, an above average rainfall region becomes water stressed, by one dry season. What is likely to mean, if the population growth figures are true and the affects of "global warming"?

Already at Freerain Ltd, we have seen a dramatic increase in enquiries from all areas of the UK and not just the North West. The gardening rainwater harvesing systems, Rain King, allow easier retro-fitting of a rainwater system, as they don't require changes to the internal plumbing arrangements.
