Benefits of Harvesting Rainwater

  • Reduces dependence on groundwater and municipal water supply
  • Reduces on-site discharge and erosion
  • Reduces potential transport of stormwater pollutants
  • Reduces flooding
  • Increases water availability for on-site vegetation
  • Reduces water bills and groundwater pumping
  • Improves water quality and stream health
  • LEED and Earth Advantage water efficiency credits
  • Provides an alternate and supplemental water supply source

Consider:

Less than 1/2 of 1% of all the earth’s water is available for human consumption.

50-70% of total household water sanitized for drinking is used for landscape irrigation and other outdoor activities.

Less than 1% of treated drinking water delivered is consumed. (EPA Facts 2009)
