Water Rhapsody’s Growing Footprint


Water Rhapsody is rapidly increasing its’ footprint around South Africa, with coverage in six of the nine provinces of South Africa.South Africa province map With the first dealers opening in the Western Cape, the Water Rhapsody network has spread to Gauteng, KZN, Eastern Cape and Mpumalanga. This week negotiations began to secure a dealer in the Limpopo province and this is expected to come on stream later in the year. Limited opportunities still exist in all the provinces for ecopreneurs to open their own businesses in Water Conservation. “The demand has been far greater than we ever expected” says Charles Bryant who hails the water business as a sunrise industry. Demand for grey water systems and rainwater harvesting systems is growing in leaps and bounds as the South African public come to realise that there are no more opportunities to dam any more rivers; most of which no longer reach the sea.

Great Design Explains our Water Footprint


Water Rhapsody footprint

Good design can not only help solve our problems, it can also help teach about them. Designer Timm Kekeritz has created a poster that graphically demonstrates the water footprint of the things that we eat, drink and use. The quantities are enormous. (The poster was also written up in SEED magazine, see TreeHugger here)

The poster got honorable mention at the recent Eco-vis challenge competiton covered at ::we make money not art. Serif notes that “The design itself is minimalistic – using silhouettes and typography only. The fonts used are TheSans and TheSerif by Berlin-based Dutch type designer Luc(as) de Groot. The printed version also shows water drops in a shiny finish, emphasizing the virtual character of the water contained in our everyday goods.” ::Serif You can buy a copy of the poster for 25 euros (US$ 36.57) here.
