We are proud to be participating in Whistler's 2016 Social Venture Challenge with our Rainwater Harvesting initiative and extension to our business. Along with 6 other entrepreneurs looking to have big social and/or environmental impact in the Sea-To-Sky, we will be pitching our business at this "Dragon's Den Style" community event on the evening of June 29.
Rainwater Harvesting is smart, innovative and necessary. It is the practice of capturing, storing and beneficially utilizing rainwater at it's source, unlike the current system, where it is swiftly swept away into stormwater, at which time it is immediately deemed useless and wasted.
It is estimated that approximately one-third of Canada's treated water is used on our landscapes.
Capturing rainwater for irrigation, especially low volume Drip Irrigation, is one of the most beneficial uses of stored rainwater and can help significantly reduce the impact on community drinking water sources.
May Accumulated Rainfall:

Fact: Every 10mm rain on 200 sq. meter roof = 1600+ Litres of usable, non-potable water.
