Creating safe, independent, sustainable water systems<\/h2>\n

Like many countries with warmer climates, Mexico is in the throes of a water crisis. Every year more aquifers are overexploited as they struggle to cope with the pressures of population growth.<\/span><\/p>\n

With many welled systems already working to capacity, it is becoming increasingly important for communities and local businesses to create independent, sustainable water systems, rather than relying on centrally controlled large-scale infrastructure to provide all of their water.<\/span><\/p>\n

For this particular project, Blue Mountain Co <\/span>supplied<\/span> Hidrotecno, a local company that works to provide rainwater harvesting solutions for commercial, industrial, and residential buildings to help them save water, money, and the environment.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hidrotecno had been contacted by the factory manager of a company that specialised in water technology and services for the control and prevention of infections and were seeking to save more water and improve their environmental impact at one of their factories.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It was their intention to reduce their reliance on water trucks and municipal supply and to use rainwater harvesting as a source of clean water to supplement their existing channels.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cuautitlan Izcalli journey to abundance<\/h2>\n

Previously, this factory in Cuautitlan Izcalli had only used rainwater to assist their sewer system and were only scratching the surface in terms of their potential capability<\/span><\/p>\n

The goal was to install two new systems to cover 1200 m<\/span>2<\/span> and rearrange the network of piping to maximise the rainwater catchment area on the surface of each system.<\/span><\/p>\n

From there, a recycled 5000-litre storage was used in conjunction with two new vertical tanks with 2570-litre capacity to ensure there was sufficient capacity to store enough rainwater to maximise collection, for today, and for future use.<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition, there were four smart, simple products that were specifically chosen to facilitate the collection of an abundance of clean water.<\/span><\/p>\n
