Water is THE most important resource in the world. Working in our field, we get used to having virtually unlimited access to it. To think that there are still so many who go without clean drinking water, is hard to fathom. During times of floods and heavy rains, it always seems to cross our minds, “wouldn’t it be great if we could save all this rain for later, when we need it?”. Welcome to Rainwater Harvesting! A simple theory, beautifully designed to contain the surplus of rainwater for later use. On a small scale, providing enough for household chores and on a larger scale supplying clean drinking water to worldwide underdeveloped communities who simply cannot provide it otherwise.
We love that we can stand behind the products and mission of a great team of aquatic enthusiasts.
What is The Aquascape Foundation?
The Aquascape Foundation is a not for profit 501 3C organization established in 2008. The mission of The Foundation is to create sustainable solutions for the world-wide water crisis. The purpose of The Foundation is to promote awareness of water as our most precious resource through environmental, educational and philanthropic efforts. One of the ways that we will accomplish this mission is by utilizing Aquascape’s RainXchange® Rainwater Harvest System as a solution to bringing clean drinking water to places where people currently have no access.
The Aquascape Foundation is utilizing its core technology to end this needless suffering. With this technology we can capture, purify and store thousands of gallons of rainwater, making it accessible and potable. Our technology will not only bring health and wellness to a community, but with an accessible water source, children can focus on education and adults can focus on employment. It’s a smart and sustainable solution to a complex problem. Water is Life!
