For the second year running, we are delighted to announce our up and coming Water Dragons Heat will be held at Durham University on Wednesday 9th October.
Future Water Association’s ‘Water Dragons‘ provides a platform for organisations to showcase their products, services or processes with a view to providing innovative solutions to the challenges faced in the water industry. The pitches are judged by a panel consisting of water sector specialists.
Our People’s Choice winner from 2018, Rain Drop Harvest, went on to win the People’s Choice winner at the Water Dragon’s Final in March 2019. Rain Drop Harvest make gravity fed rainwater harvesting systems for homes and wowed the audiences with how simple a solution this was, saving up to 30% water usage in new homes.
Lynn McCallum, inventor of Rain Drop Harvest said “The Water Dragon’s has been an invaluable experience”
