Project Overview

Sustainable Water Independence for Alberta Farms.

Many areas across rural Alberta face significant groundwater challenges, including high mineral content, alkali conditions, heavy iron, or dry wells. This Alberta farm project demonstrates how engineered rooftop rainwater harvesting provides a high-capacity, dependable, and naturally soft drinking water supply year-round.

  • Well Alternative: Replaces low-producing or poor-quality wells with a clean, rooftop-harvested water supply.
  • Large Storage Capacity: High-volume underground cisterns engineered to endure Alberta’s freeze cycles.
  • Rooftop Catchment: Captures clean runoff from large agricultural and residential roof surface areas.
  • Multi-Stage Potable Purification: Pre-filtration, fine sediment filtration, carbon polishing, and UV sterilization.
