Recycling rainwater

WITH a garden taking up about a third of her almost 500sqm property in Kampung Tunku in Petaling Jaya, Selangor, Dr Yee Chow Fah ends up using a lot of water just to keep it lush.

A desire to reduce her water consumption and to go green prompted her to install a rainwater harvesting system six months ago. Two 900-litre water storage tanks now sit in her backyard, assuring her of an alternative source of water.
