Smart Water Solutions for Sustainable Cemetery Development
Incorporating water facilities into new cemetery sites often requires costly installation to connect the mains supply. In addition, the use of treated drinking water for the watering of grass and memorials, especially amidst prevalent concerns of climate change and carbon emissions, raising questions of efficiency and sustainability.
Several alternatives to mains water supplies exist for cemetery sites, offering both cost-effectiveness and a reduced carbon footprint. These include:
- Capture of surface water runoff into storage tanks
- Rainwater harvesting
- Installation of hand pumps into tanks/boreholes
- Installation of groundwater abstraction wells
- Installation of solar and wind powered borehole pumps
The CDS Group are happy to advise clients in determining the suitability of the above solutions for their site. This accounts for factors like underlying geology and groundwater depth. This evaluation also extends to options like eco-friendly solar and wind-powered borehole abstraction pump.
