EcoRain Systems Solution
The Navajo Nation has chosen EcoRain Tanks to harvest rain water from the roofs of Rough Rock Community School. Always a leader, Rough Rock – Tse Ch’zhi – was built in 1966 as the first community-run school in the U.S. The School and the U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs have chosen EcoRain Tanks for the first cisterns in the area to provide 100% irrigation needs.
Two 32,000 gallon cisterns designed to supply 100%irrigation water via pumps and drip systems. When rainwater supply runs low—the Tanks fill with potable water.
LEED Silver Certification pending approval.
100% recycled Polypropylene materials.
EcoRain Tanks are wrapped with Geotextile Material &placed on top and sides with sand, inside a liner to filter water..
Local General Contractor Warner’s Landscape Company hired and worked with local Native Americans who built and operate the Cisterns.
