In a world where water scarcity is a growing concern, communities around the globe are turning to innovative solutions to secure their water supply and provide a more sustainable future for water resources.

Rainwater management is about making smart and sustainable choices when it comes to rainwater - it can be as simple as collecting and storing rainwater!

Nick Couzens our Education Consultant has been incredibly busy in recent months working on an exciting project! We spoke with him recently to find out what he has been up to and some of the highlights from his time working in Eastbourne.

We recently caught up with Sean MacLeod, Town Councillor and Project Chairman, and Lesley Boniface, Town Councillor and Community Engagement Officer to find out more about the flooding challenges faced in the Lewes and Newhaven area as well as an exciting community garden that will begin construction soon.

At Our Rainwater, we understand the challenges water companies and local authorities face when it comes to scaling up community-based initiatives. We've been listening closely to your needs, and we're here to provide comprehensive solutions tailored to your requirements.

From sensors to data driven solutions, an exploration of how the synergy of innovation is shaping the future of water management.

Our Rainwater is working in collaboration with Caroline Ansell MP, the Blue Heart Project, and Southern Water to provide 100 'slow release' water butts within Eastbourne to help reduce surface water flooding within the local area.

A 'slow release' water butt may not sound particularly useful, but believe it or not, they can be a fantastic way to help address various problems caused by stormwater in your community.

Our climate is changing! By collectively collecting rainwater, organisations and communities can take a step towards achieving resilience against the impacts of climate change.

A great step forward in the collective mission to implement sustainable rainwater management solutions at a grassroots level and a testament to the power of collaboration and community-driven action. Together we can make a difference, one raindrop at a time!

Our Rainwater's co-founders, Pete and Sarah, recently delivered a keynote speech at the Rainwater Management - An Untapped Resource Conference, emphasizing collaboration, awareness, and holistic approaches in addressing rainwater management challenges. The event united experts, policy makers, and industry professionals to explore innovative solutions and advance sustainable practices in rainwater management.

Co-founder Sarah Bunney underscores the importance of developing a shared vision for the future. Embracing cross-sector collaboration, digital innovation, and nature-based solutions, the water sector is poised to lead the way in addressing the challenges of climate change.
