Category - Water-Efficient Technology

All of the following are easy-to-implement potential uses for commercial/industrial/ municipal urban rainwater except:
  1. Road washing
  2. Replenishing artificial wetlands/ponds
  3. Drinking fountain usage
  4. Fire hydrant supply
Explanation
Answer: C -As with residential toilet-flushing, using harvested urban rainwater to supply drinking fountains requires not only plumbing additional lines into the building, it requires purification of the rainwater to ensure it contains no pathogens. These conditions render it more difficult to implement than the other three uses listed, all of which can use rainwater “as-is” from the storage tank.
