Tackling Drought in North-West England: How Rainwater Harvesting Ltd Offers a Sustainable Solution

The Environment Agency has officially declared a drought across north-west England, following an extended spell of unusually dry weather. Between February and April, the region recorded its third-lowest rainfall since records began in 1871, leading to critically low water levels in reservoirs and rivers. This development poses serious risks to water resources, wildlife habitats, and the broader environment.

In light of these challenges, Rainwater Harvesting Ltd provides practical and sustainable solutions through its wide range of rainwater harvesting systems. By capturing and storing rainwater, these systems reduce reliance on mains water supply, ensuring a more resilient and environmentally friendly water source during times of scarcity

• Environmental Protection: Harvesting rainwater eases the pressure on local water supplies, helping to safeguard rivers, streams, and wetlands.
• Cost Savings: Using harvested rainwater for non-potable purposes—such as toilet flushing, laundry, and garden irrigation—can significantly cut household water bills.
• Energy Efficiency: Rainwater harvesting uses less energy compared to the extraction, treatment and distribution of mains water, helping to reduce carbon emissions.
• Flood Risk Reduction: By capturing rainfall at the source, these systems also help manage stormwater runoff and mitigate the risk of localised flooding.
