- If you are interested in having a project for the building where you live, or
your land we can begin to work on it .
- First of all, our goal is to save water! So lets talk about investment!
Its our goal to deliver cost-efective solutions, but we should be aware, that
no matter the cost of implementing this system, it was to be implemented
by me, you or anybody else.
To save water, we have to capture it when it rains, re-use it, and recycle it!
We can't afford to increase the water levels pollution, nor to go on
continuing disrupting the rivers eco-system, and leaving
southern populations with a continous decreased water line.
To implement a system in mountains its cheap, it was implemented in the
XV century by the people that went to colonize Madeira island to develop
agriculture.
In what concerns buildings, the investment for implementing depends
essentialy on the arquitecture of the existing building.
Ex : If there is enough space at the top of the building for deposits/tanks
we do not need to use the basement, so saving at least two car parking
places that won't be used. In some cases we even won't need to pump water, because we are working with the force of gravity, the water will have enough pressure.
In buildings that are projected to have this system during construction, of
course, there will be reached more cost-efective solutions.
- If fact, there are mountains even in the more desert regions of the planet (ex . The morocan mountain chain Atlas, and in Africa there are more than 50 mountain chains) and it rains there.
When it rains, it is usually at the top of the mountain, and the population have no way of capturing the rain water.
This system allows the capture of the water where it rains, and to conduced it where is needed.
To clarify, the idea is not only to implement the system in mountains in countries where there is scarcity of water, but everyere.
This system as a very big impact at social, but specialy at environmental level.
In order to have water, we have to break subterranean water lines, and pump it from rivers, interfering with their course and eco-system.
The Levadas System, is simple, and ecological;
Doesn't disrupt the water lines,
Doesn't disrupt water courses eco-systems,
Doesn't interfere with the course of the rivers as the existing ones.
Is cheaper than pumping water from rivers,
The force and velocity of the water can produce electricity,
Reduces the need of use of the course of the rivers, therefore reducing negative consequences to the environment and to the populations.
Less impact in carbon emissions.
