What is Rainwater Harvesting?
Rainwater harvesting is all about recycling rainfall, collecting and storing rainwater to be used later. Rather than leaving rainwater to run off into drains, it’s redirected and stored for jobs that don’t require treated mains water. A typical system includes:
- Gutters and downpipes to collect and channel. rainwater from your roof
- Storage tanks, which can be placed above or below ground.
- Filtration to remove debris and impurities before use
The stored water can then be repurposed for things like watering the garden, washing the car, flushing toilets and general outdoor cleaning. It’s a fantastic way to reduce mains water usage and make the most of all the rain we experience over the winter months.
Why Install a Rainwater Harvesting System?
As temperatures rise, water use tends to increase, especially in the garden. A rainwater harvesting system will allow you to collect and store rain from the wetter months so you have a supply ready when you need it. Not to mention you can avoid those inevitable hose-pipe bans during the height of summer too!
The quieter months are often the best time to tackle groundwork projects, with fewer delays and faster turnaround times, you can have your system installed and ready to go before demand picks up.
Harvesting rainwater helps conserve local water supplies and reduces reliance on mains water. It’s a simple but effective way to be more sustainable while cutting down on your bills and saving you money.
If you’ve noticed water pooling in your garden or drive, a rainwater harvesting system can help. Instead of excess water causing problems, it can be stored and put to good use later.
