Water shortage is an increasingly serious problem. During summer time water is often rationed and it is sometimes forbidden to use it to water your garden and vegetable garden.

When designing a green space, proper water management needs to be carried out; you need to reduce its use and waste by choosing to cultivate low-water plants, for example Mediterranean species able to survive in extreme situations, and installing a drip irrigation system. In addition, if you have space, it is very useful and environmentally friendly to use a rainwater collection container: in ancient times wood barrels would play this role placed under a vertical crevice tube.

Various types of rainwater containers are available on the market: they can be buried or placed outdoors, simply positioned on a flat surface. While selecting the collection tank, in addition to technical qualities and capacity, aesthetics is also important as the object usually has a rather significant footprint; better if you like the design and you believe it can smoothly integrate with the style of the building where it will be placed.

Plastic containers, in addition to being lighter, are durable, weather-resistant to UV rays and frost, as well as having a low environmental impact.

VECA’s Genesis water collection tank is an ecological solution that helps the gardener especially during periods of intense drought: it has a capacity of 340 litres and a clean and geometric design that suits all types of environment. The tank is available in a wide range of colours and is equipped with an indoor inspection cover that can be transformed into a container to accommodate small-sized or hanging vessels. It requires a collector to be linked to the eaves gutter and is equipped with a plastic tap to collect water. You can accompany the tank with other plastic pots of similar colour and shape, so as to create a point of interest (such as Veca mod. Easy and Genesis).

When you make your purchase, remember to ask for advice on how to install it and take full advantage of its features and don’t forget to watch the product presentation video.
