A water management system effective for managing and metering water usage and detecting and reducing water leaks is described herein. The water management system can detect a leak when a volume of water flow or change in water pressure detected by a water meter of the system is uncharacteristic for a given day and time of day at the node. Upon detecting the leak, the system alerts the user, and in some situations, remotely shuts off a water supply to preemptively address a water leakage issue.

A system for the automatic management of the wastewater and freshwater for recreational vehicles is disclosed. The system includes a plurality of sensors configured for monitoring a first volume of blackwater within a blackwater holding tank, a second volume of greywater within a greywater holding tank, and whether an egress conduit is attached to a sewage system. The system further includes a processor configured for receiving a plurality of first signals from the plurality of sensors and sending a plurality of second signals to at least one of a plurality of values within the system. The processor is configured for determining if the first volume and second volume exceeds a first predetermined maximum threshold and a second predetermined maximum threshold respectively, then transmitting one of the plurality of second signals to prevent matter and wastewater from entering at least one of the blackwater holding tank and greywater holding tank.

Adaptive buildings and building envelopes having a system of structural members which also function as one or more selectively independent fluidic transport systems. Fluids to be transported such as air, rainwater, potable water, irrigation water, and/or gray water, are moved about the adaptive buildings via the various fluidic transport systems to locations disposed about the adaptive buildings where they are used as needed. Such fluids are also selectively filtered and cleaned by a plurality of filter plate systems disposed about the structure.

The invention relates to methods, systems and apparatus for distributed management of raw water and internal combustion engine (ICE) gas emissions generated during industrial operations. One aspect of the invention at least partially utilizes a hot gas air knife to increase or partially increase surface area between a raw water and a hot gas in order to vaporize a proportion of the aqueous phase of the raw water and concentrate contaminants within a residual raw water concentrate. The water vapor generated by the vaporization process may be demisted, discharged directly to the atmosphere or alternatively condensed and captured for use. Another aspect relates to how the liquids and gasses interact to continuously flush the surfaces of the system which may help mitigate scaling issues. The invention may help facilitate rapid transfer of ICE combustion gas particulate and ICE combustion gas chemicals onto and into the raw water as it concentrates.

The present invention relates to a storm water management system comprising a first conduit, a storage device, a first well and a valve, wherein the storage device comprises a coherent man-made vitreous fibre module (MMVF module), wherein the MMVF module comprises an upper passage and a lower passage, wherein the upper passage is in fluid communication with the first conduit, and wherein the lower passage is connected to the first well by the valve.

A fluid flow control unit adapted to control flow of fluid from a tap is disclosed. The fluid flow control unit comprises a vertical piece (101) extending along the length of the tap; and a horizontal piece (102) extending along a handle of the tap, wherein the vertical piece (101) and the horizontal piece (102) are sheet structures attached together at a predetermined angle, wherein one of sides (101a) of the vertical piece (101) is attached to one of sides (102a) of horizontal piece, and wherein a point of attachment of the vertical piece (101) and the horizontal piece is above the handle (105) of the tap.

An indoor grey water purification and reuse device, system and method for public buildings is disclosed. The grey water purification and reuse device includes a grey water storage tank, a grey water treatment assembly and a pneumatic reclaimed water tank assembly which are sequentially arranged from top to bottom. The grey water storage tank is used for storing grey water from one floor above collected by a grey water collecting device. The grey water treatment assembly is used for carrying out multistage purification treatment on the grey water in the grey water storage tank. The pneumatic reclaimed water tank assembly is used for disinfecting reclaimed water subjected to multistage purification treatment and supplying water to reclaimed water reuse facilities on the current floor of the building in a constant-pressure mode.
