Rainwater Harvesting

Rainwater harvesting collects rain from roofs and stores it in tanks or barrels. The water can be used for watering gardens, washing cars or flushing toilets.

Collected rain is a free source of water.

It is a simple way to save water and money.

Rainwater can be collected from gutters and downpipes with a simple barrel. Many communities around the world have used this method for centuries. Using rainwater helps reduce the pressure on rivers and reservoirs, especially during dry periods.
