Solar power is employed to supply lighting. Each bungalow having own photovoltaic panels, which provide all the power needed to light the bungalow . Rainwater, collected by the large surface area of the roof is first filtered and then stored in large cisterns under the floor of each bungalow. These can hold around 15,000 litres each. Here it is stored until needed when it is pumped to the tanks.
Hot water is supplied courtesy of the sun each bungalow.
These rely on the natural currents created when water is heated and heating therefore does not require pumps. Each day this system can supply 200 litres of hot water for showers and washing. To avoid introducing unwanted nutrients, waste water from the shower and washbasin first pass through a filter before entering a plant bed that has been sealed from its surroundings. Plants that absorb large amounts of phosphates and nitrates have been planted here to remove these nutrients before the water enters the Eco-system. Water is also conserved by not using flush toilets, which also removes the problem of sewage.
