I just found this product and was so impressed, I wanted to put it here,
WaterFence
Innovative, new fresh water storage system that utilizes roof
rain runoff into an interconnected fence system that can store thousands of
gallons of water giving you the possibility of water sustainability, even in
severe drought situations. We can’t do anything about when it will rain but we
do know it will rain again, and it is up to each individual to do their share
in preparing and saving every drop. Every time it rains you add water to your
system.
The patented Water Fence System works very simply, as the water
runs off the roof and drains into the fence, it continues to fill any number of
fence sections you may have
To calculate your water savings, take the square feet of your
roof x each inch of rain x the conversion factor of .632 to get how many
gallons of runoff you get for every inch of rain. In example, a 2,000 square
foot roof x 1 inch of rain x .632 = 1,264 gallons of fresh water
This fence takes the place of your existing wood fence and should last almost forever. It is 100% recyclable, made of (HDPE) Polyethylene. No more trees ever again have to be cut down for the building of fences, allowing them to do what they do best, absorbing Co2 out of our atmosphere combating Global Warming.
Water naturally seeks its own level and fills each section evenly, and each section holds 320 gallons and when connected together, the fence can hold thousands of gallons of fresh pure rainwater.
To distribute the water, just connect a hose to your fence via the already installed spigots. The fence has been professionally engineered to easily withstand the weight of water in it and also has been engineered to withstand most seismic events.
WaterFence is also a terrific fire barrier! The HDPE fencing
will not burn forming a fire resistant wall around your home. With the addition
of a small water pump (with a battery backup) and a water delivery system to
your roof, you have a fire suppression system that gives your home a
recirculating water supply which is a way of giving your home a fighting chance
against floating embers that land on your roof, even when water and power have
been shut off.
The design on the fence can be individualized into any design/color that you would like and be made to look like a Rockwall, or a stone wall just about any design you prefer.
Home builders or developers can simply send a rendering of a desired fence look of their development and it can be reproduced exactly to what they want.
