Potable water savings by use of rainwater in school building

Stormwater management is quite a new topic in Slovakia. There is neither a legal framework nor standards or guidelines on how to implement sustainable stormwater management techniques. Rainwater harvesting as a form of source control measures could contribute to sustainability in stormwater management as well, by supporting potable water conservation and sustainability in water management in general. Rainwater harvesting also lowers the amount of runoff entering a stormwater sewer and helps decrease water consumption of potable water.
