| Clean water is
a precious commodity -- especially during the extended periods of
drought experienced in our area. Rainwater harvesting can provide a
free, higher-quality source of water once the initial investment in
collection and storage systems is recouped. For every inch of rain that
lands on 1,000 square feet of roof area, about 600 gallons of water is
collected. Rainwater collected from a tin roof can be used for flushing
the toilet, washing clothes, gardening and, in some setups, fresh
drinking water. |
