Rainwater Harvesting Conserves/Reuses Water

This summer was a particularly hot, dry one. And here in the south, it was especially rough. But some good came out of it in the end. Many people learned that they could conserve water by harvesting rainwater and reusing it. Today those benefits mean that even if the drought is over, you can take your lawn to the next level and not worry about the environmental impact of your efforts.

A rainwater harvesting system takes the rain that falls on your roof and stores it all in a collection cistern. It then filters the water and re-introduces water into those systems that don't necessarily require potable water: lawncare, running your toilets, even washing clothes. That means for up to 60% of your water usage, you're not drawing from the local water table. You're simply putting the rain to work for you.
