Solys sun shading system collects rainwater for your garden

By Sukhmani Kaur /Sep 30 2010

Designer Fabrice Bardon has envisaged a sun shading system that also doubles as a mist and rainwater collector. Dubbed as Solys, the concept is based on promoting a water economy through both public and personal initiative. Suitable for installation in parks and private gardens, the system can be assembled on the spot. The Solys supports a concave umbrella at the top which collects morning mist and rainwater to fulfill your garden watering needs.
