Rainwater Harvesting + Moisture Sensor Control

Protect the environment without sacrificing your green lawn.

Fresh drinking water is in short supply on Earth. Most residential sprinkler systems are inefficient and waste countless gallons of drinkable water. To improve efficiency, the group focused on preventing sprinklers from overwatering lawns. Additional water savings comes from rainwater harvesting to lessen the environmental impact. The solution is the Rainwater Recycler, an Earth friendly sprinkler system modification. The project saves water in two ways. First, moisture sensor technology prevents unneeded watering. Second, rainwater is harvested from a roof into a tank and pumped into a pre-existing sprinkler system. Minimal user interaction is required by the Rainwater Recycler. The Rainwater Recycler uses several LED lights to notify the user of the current system function and errors. The system can switch to public or well water during dry weather. Overflow pipes were used to protect the foundation of the house. Help us to ensure that there is fresh water for future generations. Save the environment without sacrificng your green lawn.
