The provision of water on new cemetery sites can require costly installation to get a supply of mains water to the site making it a significant part of the development cost. In addition, the use of treated drinking water for the watering of grass and memorials, at a time when climate change and carbon emissions are a significant issue, should be considered wasteful.
There are several alternatives to mains water supplies to cemetery sites which can be more cost effective and have a lower 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
CDS are happy to advise clients on whether any of the above solutions, including the green solar and a wind powered borehole abstraction pump, is suitable for their site depending on factors such as the underlying geology and depth to groundwater.
