5. SMART RAINWATER BUFFER

The idea of a smart rainwater barrel arose some two years ago in a Creathon. The University of Twente’s Creative Technology educational programme develops graduation projects with a social impact. And this is a good example.
UT student Jur van Geel explains the smart rain barrel in more detail in this video.
Richard Bults said earlier, in Tubantia, that discussions with the city council had revealed that “Residents in Enschede regularly have problems with flooding. It occurred to us that it might be possible to use tanks to store rainwater temporarily in times of torrential rainfall. Obvious, you might think. The problem is, of course, that rainwater tanks are often full just when you need the storage capacity, i.e. when it rains. Therefore, we asked ourselves whether we could come up with a system to ensure that rainwater tanks are empty when it rains and full when we need water.”
Jeroen Waterink (21) is one of the Creative Technology students who graduated with a thesis on the development of the smart rainwater buffer. “Imagine that the rainwater buffer is connected to the rainwater pipe. It checks the weather forecasts frequently. If rain fall is imminent, the smart rainwater buffer calculates the volume of water it can expect based on the surface area of your roof. Two hours before it rains, the smart rainwater buffer discharges sufficient water into the sewer to accommodate the expected volume and is then ready to collect the precipitation that falls”, says Waterink.
