Collection and Water Conservation
The next primary feature of the cave house has to do with water conservation. For sustainable supplies of water, the builder assembled a rainwater harvesting system, collecting and filtering rainwater and putting them into storage for household use. Therefore, the use of outside sources of water is significantly reduced, thus making the house more self-sufficient and green.
It involves gutters and collection points, and then distributing rainwater to a storage tank. At the storage tank, it is treated with very simple filtration, which makes it safe for purposes of washing and cleaning as well as even cooking within the dwelling. This is complemented by water-efficient fixings both in the kitchen and bathroom, which saves more water.
This is one of the most critical principles of water conservation within a sustainable home design, especially in remote areas with limited water sources. This is a commitment by the builder to the responsible use of all available resources in ensuring that sustainability exists within the house in the long term.
