About Wahaso – Water Harvesting Solutions

The Water Harvesting Solutions (Wahaso) team brings experience, skill and passion about water conservation to every client project. We incorporate a holistic approach in designing and building systems, working to integrate multiple sources of renewable water along with multiple uses of treated water to maximize total water savings.

It is our core competencies in system design, our experience, and our focus on only the commercial and institutional building market, that set us aside from other rainwater or greywater systems suppliers. To ensure that we can deliver a full-service solution to our clients, we have developed a team of seasoned experts in scoping, engineering, fabricating and delivering best-in-class water harvesting solutions.

As members of the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), we understand the broader goals and concerns of clients interested in achieving LEED certification for their building, and we can actively support the design and documentation of a water harvesting approach to maximize LEED points in this area. Wahaso has provided learning sessions on water harvesting at many USGBC events and conferences.
