CCAT is in need of a more convenient and efficient rainwater catchment system and usage of collected water. Water pressure is also lower than expected. A current system is in place and collects a large amount of water, being used for drip irrigation and is severely under utilized. The CCAT house has relatively new metal roofs and rain gutters (2009), which can’t be altered so improvements must be made to the tank itself, inlets, or outlets.

CCAT incorporates a wide variety of Appropriate Technologies. CCAT located near the redwood forest of [Arcata], houses three full time students and employs 18 students part time.

Problem statement

CCAT is in need of a more convenient and efficient rainwater catchment system and usage of collected water. Water pressure is also lower than expected. A current system is in place and collects a large amount of water, being used for drip irrigation and is severely under utilized. The CCAT house has relatively new metal roofs and rain gutters (2009), which can’t be altered so improvements must be made to the tank itself, inlets, or outlets.
