2. Collecting and draining rainwater

At Kwekerij de Zuidplas, the journey of a water droplet begins on the greenhouse roof. Rainwater is collected directly via gutters and drained through a piping system to the water basin. This process is designed to operate quickly and efficiently, ensuring that no water is lost.

The strength of this system lies not in the technology alone, but in the vision behind it. Water is not taken for granted, but as a valuable resource. Every drop that enters is utilized as efficiently as possible and reused wherever possible. Instead of draining away uncontrollably, it remains part of a closed system.
