Rainwater Harvesting
Collect rain in a high quality Rainwater barrels and you could save yourself and your neighborhood money, particularly during dry spells when water is not at a premium.Water storage can also help reduce a community's carbon footprint, as all tap water has to go through various purification treatments to make it safe for human consumption. All of these processes use energy. You may need to drink and use treated water, but plants, flowers and lawns do not!
In fact it is quite the opposite-natural vegetation much prefers to 'drink' rainwater than chemically treated water. So why waste tap water that is processed for humans on plants, they simply do not need it!
Rainwater harvesting can also be an effective way to continue watering your plants and lawn if you live in an area which imposes water restrictions during the dry months. A lawn, plants and vegetables will simply wilt and die if they are left un-watered. Using rainwater which has been collected from nature and stored in a rain barrel can be used to help save your plants and lawn- And all for free!
