Industry: Environment

Press Release Summary: The Atlanta Airport will be installing a rain water
harvesting system that will conserve approximately 360,000 gallons of water each
year.

Press Release Body: Water Reclamation Systems of Georgia will be installing (3)
2,500 gallon above ground cisterns and a large compost area for The William B
Hartsfield International Airport on September 15, 2008 . It will only take 1\" of
rain to reach the 7,500 gallon full capacity. With Georgia\'s average annual rain
fall at 48\" The William B Hartsfield International Airport has the potential to
harvest 360,000 gallons of rain water each year. The harvested rain water will be
used for landscaping, etc.

It seems as though one of the busiest airports in the nation will be leading the way
in sustainability and an effort to go green that should set the precedent for not
only other airports, but Atlanta based manufacturers and even the average homeowner.
Rain harvesting is an ancient practice with a recent revival as business owners and
consumers are faced with drought and the awareness has been raised regarding limited
resources.

Brian Sexton of Water Reclamation Systems of Georgia says, \" You would be amazed at
how much water the average homeowner is losing by not having a rain water
reclamation system at home!\". He also stated that the installation process for
residential applications is relatively inexpensive, a better alternative for the
environment and better for your landscaping than using treated water any way.


Rain Harvesting is a win-win situation and a lot easier than people think.
