Water is quickly becoming an "endangered species" on our blue planet. Did you know that one inch of rainfall on a 2,000 square foot residential roof generates 1,250 gallons of water that can be reused?
The average U.S. household with a 10,000 square foot lot uses up to 3,000 gallons of water weekly for landscape irrigation! Seventy percent of water used at home is used outdoors - specifically 66,175 gallons of water are used outdoors per household, per year. Storing rain water allows you to keep gardens growing during watering restrictions and reduce the burden for municipal water.
The benefits of harvesting rainwater are numerous, but some of the more prominent advantages include:
- Reduce water bills including city storm sewer charges
- Alleviate demand on municipal systems
- Avoid strict watering schedules
- Improved landscape growth
- Reduce flooding and erosion
- Efficient use of a valuable resource - water
