Welcome to Build Urban Dams!

This web site is dedicated to bringing you the latest information, best practices, and products in support of preserving water on the planet.  Drought is the new normal in many areas of the U.S. and while dams are discussed as a potential solution; they take years to build and are not the answer in the short term. So, according to the definition above, let’s build urban dams, in our homes!

Strategies include graywater recycling, rainwater harvesting and other water conservation techniques.

Each of us, in our own home, can dam up the fresh water we have…by conserving it at the source.  An urban dam mentality practiced by homeowners can save huge amounts of water right now.
