| Summary: | 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. | |
