SmartStorm^® Rainwater Recovery System

CRWA has created a system to capture rooftop runoff, so to store some of the water for irrigation purposes and non-potable uses like car washing, and recharge (i.e., put in the ground) any excess. The SmartStorm^® Rainwater Recovery System is designed to change the way water works in municipalities. Each system will store or recharge up to 2,400 gallons per day depending on soils, or the equivalent of 100 percent of the runoff from a 2,000 square foot roof in a two-inch rainstorm. SmartStorm^® will reduce demand on potable water supplies for irrigation, reduce polluted stormwater runoff dramatically, and enhance aquifer storage, particularly during the summer months, helping sustain public drinking water supplies and increase Charles River flow. Finally, the system will go a long way toward restoring the environmental balance between land and rainwater that would have existed prior to the construction of our homes and apartments.
