|  The
harvesting of rainwater simply involves the collection of water
from surfaces on which rain falls, and subsequently storing this
water for later use. Normally water is collected from the roofs
of buildings and stored in rainwater tanks. Water can also be collected
in dams from rain falling on the ground and producing runoff. Either
way, the water collected can be considered to be precious.
 The
collection of rainwater from the roofs of buildings can easily take
place within our cities and towns, not just in rural areas. All
that is necessary to capture this water is to direct the flow of
rainwater from roof gutters to a rainwater storage tank. By doing
this, water can be collected and used for various uses. If you are
from the city, it is possible to replace a substantial portion of
your fresh water requirements by the capture and storage of rainwater
from your roof. |
