In the United States of America the collection and Recycling of Rainwater, although it is not regulated in all States, is a quite Widespread Practice promoting a Sensible Water Management.
In Europe, Bas van der Veer – Eindhoven, NL – a young designer, has created a very interesting project to start, even in the old continent, the Good American Practice.
Raindrop, with an attractive Design, is a system of collection and recycling of Rainwater, which can easily be connected to Gutters and Downspouts and where it is inserted a Watering can that fills automatically. At its base is a Little Tap to recover the Excess in case of Heavy Rain.
Today collecting rainwater to recycle it in place of Drinking Water [valuable] to water gardens and vegetables gardens it is a Cool practice and we hope it will soon become a Popular Trend.
