Stormwater runoff from streets and roads is the major uncontrolled source of water pollution in urban areas. The recognition of this source of water pollution is ever increasing.
In times of natural disaster potable water and electrical power are scarce. Water is both heavy and heavily used, therefore it is most economical to transport fuel as a source of power and make the water locally from the moisture in the air. The mechanism proposed will provide both emergency power and water.
The Waterdance Valve is a water-saving device that allows users to turn on the hot water faucet or shower, capture and cleanly store the cold water runoff normally wasted while waiting for the water to get hot, and then use that captured water as needed from the same faucet, all while requiring no electricity,
