Recycling water: WaterHOG

posted on February 29 by DesignAddict.

When Sydney-based designer Sally Dominguez was told it was impossible to fit a water storage tank under her small garden deck, she designed her own. The Rainwater Hog is a small-scale modular storage tank for collecting rainwater that can be reused for watering plants, washing the car or whatever you need.

The waterHOG has the following dimensions: 180cm x 50cm x 22cm for a capacity of 183L.
It is made from 100% recyclable plastic using natural gas in the process.

Available from DWR this Spring, five percent of the profits from every sale go to Water Aid International.

Join DWR for an evening with Sally Dominguez at DWR Berkeley Studio on March 5 2008, 6:30–8:30pm. Check out the Rainwater Hog in person and learn about the numerous ecological benefits of rainwater storage.

Thx for this find.
Indeed we are encouraged to store water
but not provided the way to do so.
This is obvioulsy the tech way to do it - and I' ll pinch it for my blog
with a link here
I am seing people using the sculptural and decorative designer over sized planters to reap rain water. And for most of us that is a very good place to start!
