Pluvara decentralized rainwater harvesting technology

Overview

Pluvara has developed a decentralized rainwater harvesting system designed to function without electricity, water connections, or roof surfaces. The technology uses a large-scale collection funnel to direct precipitation into IBC containers, providing a flexible solution for irrigating urban greenery, school gardens, and agricultural areas.

Initial pilot projects in Gießen, Germany, focused on supplying water to young trees and green spaces to reduce the logistical burden on municipalities during dry periods. The application of this technology has since been proposed as a method for forest fire protection. By placing these reservoirs at forest edges or access roads, the system can provide additional water reserves in remote areas, utilizing captured rainwater rather than drinking water to combat wildfire risks.
