Tucson Should Require Business Water Harvesting
Arizona Daily Star, October 12, 2008
Fresh, potable water is quickly becoming a scarce commodity in our nation. The cost and availability of fresh water is seen as the next most important crisis in our country after energy. According to Fortune magazine, “water promises to be to the 21st century what oil was to the 20th."
Yet every day commercial buildings use billions of gallons of potable water to flush toilets, water landscaping and condition the air.
There is growing interest in water harvesting systems that capture, treat, store and recycle rainwater and greywater. Water Harvesting Solutions (Wahaso) specializes in these systems for commercial and institutional buildings.
Our mission at Wahaso is to
help municipalities and commercial building owners reduce the impact of
their buildings on the environment through innovative sustainable water practices.
We provide Custom Solutions for capturing, filtering, storing and applying rainwater,
stormwater and greywater. We are a design-build firm and usually work first with the architects and engineers on a project to design turnkey solutions for any water harvesting challenge.
When the design is finalized, we pre-assemble and test all components at our facility and then ship them on skids ready to be installed by the project's plumbing or general contractor.
