Lowtech Graph lists low-tech options for every need of a home. Here you can compare them, find tutorials to build them, and link them together into a circular system. Why low-tech?

Distribution

Getting the water from where it is stored to the taps that use it. Either gravity does it, which needs height and nothing else, or a pump does it, which needs power whenever a tap is opened.

Solutions

• Gravity-fed distribution from elevated storage: No pump needed if storage sits above point of use; low pressure but passive and resilient.
• Pressurised pump distribution: An electric pump with a pressure vessel that pushes water through the pipes to every tap and shower. It gives the same strong flow as mains water, so ordinary t
