What is Rainwater Harvesting?

Rainwater harvesting is collecting the run-off from a structure and other impervious surface in order to store it for later use. Traditionally, this calls for harvesting the rain from the roof. The rain will collect in gutters that channel the water into downspouts and then into some type of storage vessel. Rainwater collection systems is as simple as collecting rain in a rain barrel or as elaborate as harvesting rainwater into large cisterns to supply your entire household demand.

There are many countries such as for example Germany and Australia where rainwater harvesting is just a norm. As a result of green building movement, you is likely to be seeing rainwater harvesting systems be popular in America.
