What Could You Do With Rainwater Coming Off Your Roof?
You could use it for toilet flushing or irrigation as many commercial buildings are doing.
OR you could use it to make wine!
The University of California Davis (UC Davis) and wine production industry solutions provider Winesecrets partnered with GE to pilot an innovative program to use captured rainwater in wine production. By reusing rainwater, rather than pulling freshwater from the aquifer for wine production, the pilot program offers a unique way to supply the needed wash water for the wine production process.
