Many residents of Australia have invested cleverly in water tanks that see them through periods of drought. The Willow Water Wall is a unique idea that reworks the standard and unsightly large reservoir, transforming it into an attractive and even dual-purpose object. Glen Lewis-Steele considered that many properties have gates around their perimeters, and from this, a hybrid product was born.
Thicker than your usual wooden fence, this barrier is hollow and capable of containing great quantities of liquid. When rainwater collects on the roof and rushes into the gutters, the pipes can transfer it to the Willow Water Wall. When it's required within the household, the H2O would then be pushed through a filtering system and then pumped into the home, supplying plumbing fixtures like toilets and showers with an eco water source.
What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Dual-purpose Barriers
- There is potential for developing fences or barriers that have an additional function, such as collecting and storing rainwater for eco applications.
- Innovative Rainwater Collection Systems
- There is a need for more creative and visually appealing ways to collect and store rainwater for home use during periods of drought.
- Eco-friendly Plumbing Fixtures
- As more homes look to alternative water sources, the demand for sustainable plumbing options will increase.
Sectors Adopting This
- Home and Garden
- The home and garden industry has the opportunity to create and market dual-purpose barriers for rainwater collection and storage.
- Construction and Architecture
- The construction and architecture industries can incorporate innovative rainwater collection systems into building designs for eco-friendly homes and buildings.
- Plumbing and Water Management
- The plumbing and water management industry can develop eco-friendly plumbing fixtures to support the growing demand for alternative water sources.
