Harvesting Rain Water

An obvious reason for harvesting rainwater is to save money. Depending on the size of your house and the amount of rainfall in your area, you can collect a substantial amount of rainwater with a simple system. This extra water can have a significant impact on your water bill. 

 

Rain barrels reduce the amount of water that runs off your property, reducing the load on an often overburdened stromwater collection system. Using that runoff to water your plants, lawn or garden, also helps conserve a valuable resource.

 

Harvesting rainwater to use for watering your landscaping helps to improve the health of your gardens, lawns, and trees. Rain is a naturally soft water and devoid of minerals, chlorine, fluoride, and other chemicals. For this reason, plants respond very well to rainwater. After all, it’s what plants in the wild thrive on!
