Rainwater Collective
Making rainwater harvesting easy, convenient & viable
A rainwater collection & support service for homeowners which captures rainwater and allows communities to contribute to citywide water efforts in reclaiming water from a renewable resource. Our process included research, testing, iterating and validating with homeowners.
The Space Between : As cities continue to grow, they will have more water demand from many sectors. Chicago can lead by innovating for water sustainability at the neighborhood, community & city levels.
We worked against the lack of awareness and concern residents tend to have around water conservation and sustainable lifestyle choices, and bridged a gap between existing infrastructures and homeowner attitudes.
