Water Systems: Low-Impact, On-Site Design

NEWS FLASH: Water is the lifeblood of our planet!!! Despite being close to 80% water, only 1% of the Earth's water is drinkable. We use this episode to discuss where that water comes from, what it's used for, and where it goes after we use it. 

There are many ways to conserve water...but to truly guarantee this all-important natural resource is protected will require a shift from centralized infrastructure to on-site water systems. We lay out some basic water-use principles anyone can follow, and we focus on innovation and integration when it comes to water recycling and re-use.
