Why Harvest Rainwater?

Climate change, increased demand on dwindling water resources and water quality issues from urban runoff require us to change how we use and care for this precious resource. One way to achieve this is to improve the efficiency of its use. Water harvesting is an important conservation strategy that can be utilized at both the personal and community level with significant benefit.
