What Is Rainwater Harvesting?
Rainwater harvesting is an alternative water supply that anyone can use since it captures, diverts, and stores rainwater for later use.
Rainwater harvesting has many benefits. In addition to reducing the demand on existing water supplies, it also lowers the chances of run-offs, erosion, and contamination of surface water.
Rainwater can be used for nearly any purpose that requires water, such as landscaping, stormwater control, wildlife and livestock watering, and household use. In East Texas, your roof can provide 4,000-7,000 gallons of water per month!
A rainwater harvesting system can range in size and complexity. All systems have basic components, which include a catchment surface, conveyance system, storage, distribution, and treatment.
