Rainwater Harvesting
.................................................
Have Your Own Renewable Water Source!
With increased
consumption and a diminishing supply of clean water sources, the need for water
conservation has become an ever-growing issue on a global scale. As a result, the need to make more efficient
use of our existing water supply has steadily increased. The ability to harvest
and store rainwater gives homeowners or commercial sites access to an
independent water supply during periods of localized water restrictions, as well as acting as a practical byproduct of
storm water management. Diverting water into a storage tank for later use comes with numerous advantages and applications.
