Balmoral rainwater harvesting systems reduce the demand for mains water provision. Many springs and rivers are naturally fed by groundwater and are important for wetlands and their ecosystems. More than 25% of groundwater sources are at risk because of abstraction pressures.

By gathering and recycling rainwater, Balmoral’s harvesting systems reduce the volume of discharged rainwater and contribute to reduced flood risks. The loading on combined sewer overflows is also lowered resulting in improved river water quality.
