Graduate Develops Retrofit Rainwater Harvesting System to Combat Water Scarcity

Northumbria University graduate Hope Underwood has developed a water harvesting system that can be retrofitted to domestic drainpipes to divert rainwater and use it for flushing toilets.

Underwood set out to develop a practical solution to the growing water scarcity and rising water bills in the UK, which are being exacerbated by climate change.

Mains to Rains is a retrofit rainwater harvesting kit designed to reduce water bills and promote sustainability.
