A water drainage system includes an underground conduit, a pop-up drain emitter, and a turf cover. The underground conduit is configured to direct water away from an eavestrough that is secured to a building. The pop-up drain emitter is secured to an end of the conduit and has a lid. The lid is configured to transition from a retracted position to an advanced position to emit water from the underground conduit. The lid is disposed above ground in at least the advanced position. The turf cover is disposed above and adjacent to the ground and radially about an outer periphery of the pop-up drain emitter. The turf cover is configured to inhibit vegetative growth radially about the outer periphery of the pop-up drain emitter.

A floodwater redistribution assembly for redirecting flood waters to a predetermined location for irrigation and municipal water service includes a subterranean vault that is positioned adjacent to a body of water known for periodic flooding. An inlet pipe is integrated into the subterranean vault to direct the water from the body of water into the subterranean vault. An outlet pipe is integrated into the subterranean vault to direct the water outwardly to a predetermined location for the purposes of irrigation and municipal water service. A ball valve is positioned within the subterranean vault to facilitate the water to flow into the outlet pipe. A ball valve control unit is coupled to the ball valve. The ball valve control unit is in remote communication with a remote control source and the ball valve control unit actuates the ball valve between an open position and a closed position.

A fluid level sensor assembly includes a first pipe component defining a flow path for the fluid and configured to be attached to a valve to control flow of the fluid from the first pipe component, and a fluid level sensor arranged in or on the first pipe component to detect a level of fluid in the first pipe component and to generate a command signal for operation of the valve according to the level detected. The assembly also includes an insert fitted to an end of the first pipe component and extending axially from the end to be fitted to an inlet of the valve, in use, wherein the insert is configured to secure the first pipe component against rotation relative to the valve inlet when the insert is fitted to the inlet.

A water use management system may be installed in a setting that contains a primary infrastructure for water use to provide an alternate, modular infrastructure for water use. Fresh water used at various points of use, such as a shower or sink, may be diverted into the modular infrastructure prior to draining into the primary infrastructure. Once diverted, the precedent use water is received at a reservoir system where it is treated for a subsequent use. Treatment may include filtration and/or chemical treatment, and may be based upon sensor feedback from the reservoir system. Once treated, the water is ready for subsequent use and may flow from the reservoir system, via the modular infrastructure, to a subsequent point of use, such as a toilet.

A rainwater conveyance system comprises a vault assembly and a drain emitter. At least a portion of the vault assembly is underground and is located above a percolation region in the ground. The drain emitter is connected to the conveyance line such that a primary portion of the collected water flows through the first portion of the conveyance line and a secondary portion of the collected water flows out of the second portion of the conveyance line through the drain emitter at a preset emitter flow rate. The drain emitter is arranged within the vault assembly, above the percolation region, and below the conveyance opening. The preset emitter flow rate is predetermined such that the flow of the secondary portion of the collected water out of the conveyance line through the drain emitter drains standing water from the conveyance line and the secondary portion of the collected water percolates through the percolation region.

A water reclamation system includes a collection basin that collects greywater from non-toilet sources. The collection basin is part of a fluid path of the greywater. A plurality of sensors are disposed within the fluid path. The plurality of sensors monitor a particulate level within the greywater. The plurality of sensors include at least a turbidity sensor and a conductivity sensor. A coagulation and filtration system separates particulate from the greywater to define filtered greywater. A staging basin is included, where the filtered greywater is delivered from the coagulation and filtration system to the staging basin to define flush water.

A water saving apparatus for use in a shower stall that has shower walls and a handheld shower head includes a basin having a rear wall, two side walls, a front wall, a bottom wall, and a top wall. All of the walls defines an internal volume. The front wall is open to accept the handheld shower head therethrough. A drain pipe is fixed through the basin and directed to a collection point. In some embodiments, the water saving apparatus includes a side compartment for holding items such as shampoo bottles and the like. In use, with the basin mounted with the shower stall, the handheld shower head is placed into the internal volume to collect water exiting the handheld shower head and direct the water by gravity to the collection point until the water exiting the showerhead is at a desired temperature.

System and method for implementing water conservation is disclosed. The water conservation system may comprise a plurality of solenoid valves, a plurality of water outlet points, one or more grey water tanks, a city water source, water pumps, timers, and a plurality of sensors. The sensors may include water level detection sensors, temperature detection sensors, solenoid valve sensors, pump control sensors, and the like. A control unit comprising a memory and a processor may be configured to control the working of the water conservation system. Data received from various components and sensors are processed to determine an operation to be performed by the system. The operations include fire control, excess grey water removal, or standard irrigation. The control unit activates a combination of solenoid valves and pumps to route water from grey water tanks and/or city water source depending upon the operation to be performed.

A water use management system may be installed in a setting that contains a primary infrastructure for water use to provide an alternate, modular infrastructure for water use. Fresh water used at various points of use, such as a shower or sink, may be modified by a point of use water conditioner. Water may be modified at the point of use based upon pre-configured routines or manual user selections. Treatments performed on the water may include quality treatments, such as modifying the pH or mineral content, and may also include experience treatments, such as the addition of scents, colors, carbonation, or health and beauty supplements. Additives used during treatment are provided in cartridges that may be inserted and removed from the water conditioner. Cartridges may self-identify when inserted, to aid in compatibility and usability determinations and recycling/recertification processes.

The present invention describes a water distribution system 1 comprising a water supply, a heating source 100, at least one temperature sensor, a flow path for water with a user outflow UO, and a control unit for operation of the water distribution system 1 said temperature sensor being connected to the control unit, wherein the control unit also is connected to at least one presence sensor PS arranged for the detection of presence of a human or animal body in physical proximity to the user outflow UO and/or in an outflow direction area from the user outflow UO and wherein the control unit is arranged to drive a hot water pasteurization procedure of at least a portion of the flow path and out from the user outflow UO based on a response or an indication of no presence of a human or animal body in physical proximity to the user outflow UO and/or in an outflow direction area from the user outflow UO.
