RAINWATER HARVESTING
CASE STUDY

RAINWATER HARVESTING
Rain Water Harvesting System - 'Wolves in the Woods' enclosure - Dublin Zoo 

​Installation date: August 2019

GENERAL PROJECT INFORMATION


  • Installation of Rainwater Harvesting System in the Wolves in the state-of-the-art 'Wolves in the Woods' enclosure at Dublin Zoo.
  • The project was part of a sustainability drive at the zoo aimed at children called the  Dublin Zoo Eco Explorer Trail 
  • CubicM3 provided design assistance,  installation and commissioning of the system.

DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS

  • Swift installation - time critical project program aimed for minimal disruption to the seven wolves and their habitat.
  • The 4,000 square metre space includes a water feature and three observation shelters where visitors can watch the wolves.
  • Dublin Zoo harvests rainwater to help flush some of its public toilets.
  • Rainwater from the roof is directed to the main filter(s) via the gutter. The main filter is designed to supply approximately 90 per cent of the water from the roof into the main storage tank at the rated flow for the filter.
  • “Every detail of the habitat has been considered carefully with the wellness of the wolf pack in mind and the design was inspired by their natural habitat,” zoo director Leo Oosterweghel said.
