Alternate Water Sources (Condensate from Air Conditioners)

Condensate from air conditioners is an abundant source of clean water that irrigators can turn to during the hot summer months when they need it most, according to a technical paper to be presented at the 25th International Irrigation Show. One shopping mall in America collects 500 gallons of clean water an hour from air conditioner condensate to use in a cooling tower, but that water could also be diverted for irrigation. A city library collects condensate from its air conditioners and uses it to irrigate the landscape.Since this is particularly useful in countries that are extremely humid, it suits Singapore very well too!!!
