Save water with Desert Eco Systems water conservation technologies

Water conservation is no longer an option but a fact of life.

Our water supplies are dwindling. Annual rainfall has dropped dramatically and runoff to dams is down by 50%. Now, more than ever, we must act to preserve this precious resource.

We rely on water for every aspect of our lives - for drinking, for growing food, for greening our homes and communities, for recreation and cleaning. Beyond our basic needs, our escalating demand for lifestyle items such as air-conditioners, dishwashers, swimming pools and reticulated gardens drives our water consumption out of control.

The environment has changed radically over the past 20 years and scientists predict continued change in global weather patterns for at least the next 50 years. It is clear that we can no longer afford to treat our fresh water as if it were a never-ending supply. We must all do what we can to reduce the amount of water we use.

Compounding the problem, water infrastructure built in recent decades is becoming obsolete-e.g. reservoirs are silting up irrigation networks falling into disrepair. Groundwater levels are falling in important aquifers that have contributed substantially to food security in recent years by providing water-on-demand to millions of farmers that tapped them. All these developments result in an increasing scarcity of water resources.

You can make a significant difference by installing Desert™ technologies. For example the Desert™ Cube waterless urinal system can reduce water consumption in a standard urinal bay by as much as 151,000 litres per year. When you consider how many urinals are used in your organisation each day, a small change to the Desert™ Cube could achieve huge water savings.

Environmental responsibility is no longer optional if we hope to preserve our natural water resources for future generations.
