The diluvian Aquacell

Tom Flood has created a new water harvesting invention, the diluvian Aquacell, that has the potential to revolutionize how fresh or grey water can be stored. Aside from water being imperative for human survival, water as a commodity is a growing, multi-billion dollar industry.

First world countries flush 70% of their fresh water down toilets and wash drains. Conserving, storing and re-using fresh water has become a major priority in the Sustainability/Green Movement.

Flood’s invention, the diluvian Aquacell, is a fully enclosed cistern fence that includes a bladder that is made from a UV-stable fabric. This modular design also allows for the cistern fence frame to be assembled with basic skills, tools and local materials i.e., bamboo in China, rebar in Dubai, mud and sticks in other places.

The cost of producing this cistern is less than half of what tanks of similar capacity cost and it can be used for either commercial or residential real estate. The “cells” transport easily and are very slim in their design; decreasing the visual impact and physical footprint in the environment. They can be linked together in series or stacked (within the proper framework) for larger harvesting/storage potential.
