2. WATER REUSE

Use of rainfall

​​​​​According to an article published by MATE's Centre for Circular Economy Analysis, the quality and quantity of rainwater collected in cities means that the current spectrum of uses is somewhat limited, with rainwater currently collected mainly from family homes and public and commercial buildings, but with the use of rainwater in these places already planned. It is mainly used for watering plants and flushing toilets, but literature also reports on its use for washing clothes, cleaning and washing cars.
