EcoAID can be used to harvest rain and stormwater in much the same way that natural aquifers or perched groundwater can be accessed by bores. One big advantage is that we are creating and replenishing that resource from water captured off roofs and other hard surfaces, such as carparks and roads, as opposed to extracting from a natural aquifer that may have taken thousands of years to form, and cannot be replenished as easily.

In a natural aquifer water is purified through slow percolation and filtration. Similarly the EcoAID system is able to filter and treat captured water using a variety of natural or synthetic filter media.

Best of all, the system is not taking up additional land space being below ground, and is secure from vandalism, fire and theft.
