One litre of spilled petrol can pollute 750,000 litres of water.
FIRE SYSTEM/SPRINKLER TESTING

The testing of fire sprinkler systems is an important and necessary part of a building's maintenance program. However, sprinkler testing can use large quantities of water that are generally taken from the portable water supply.

Research done for the CH2 Building in Melbourne (an average ten-storey building) showed that sprinkler water testing used about ten KL of water per week (RMIT University, 2006).

This water can be captured for re-use and preferably used for portable purposes.
It takes approximately 15 minutes to deliver just one liter of water to the soil with drip irrigation, compared to five seconds when hand watering?

Most plants will flourish on a 25 - 30 min dripper watering twice a week.

Installing a Moisture sensor can save up to 50% of your required irrigation water needs.
