Working on the climate is often so dull. Boring. We're not allowed to do this or we shouldn't do that. Cloiq has come up with something unique for this: a smart rain barrel in the shape of a cloud. Saved up from collected plastic and 3D printed into a rain barrel cloud.
This rain barrel regulates the ultimate water level entirely on its own. It reads the weather forecast via the internet and empties itself before a downpour.
