Green Roof Gets More Conservative

Filed in archive Edge Technology on September 29, 2006

People never run out of good ideas. Here is another one. What can you say about recycling water a green roof traps before it is released to the storm drain? I know, wonderful, right?

That is exactly what you will find in this article . When water is trapped in the growing membrane, the traditional materials used in Green Roofs simply divert the water to the drain. Not anymore. Designs are being assessed as to how the water can be diverted for home use such as Flushing toilets, etc.

This is truly a great way of enjoying your gardening and saving on water bills.
