Why harvest rainwater?

There is nothing new about collecting rainwater and it is not diffcult to do, but are enough of us doing our bit?

It is surprising how much water can be collected from roof tops. With every inch that falls on a surface of 1000 square feet, it is possible to collect approximately 600 gallons of water. This could dramatically reduce water bills and with the much publicised, continual water rate increases, we cannot afford not to save our water and subsequently save money and the environment.

...Business owners can claim 100% tax relief on rainwater harvesting systems under the enhanced capital allowance scheme as long as the product is approved on the water technologies list and a typical domestic rain harvesting system can yield up to 70% of the non-potable water needs of an average family of 4, with a typical pay back period of 3 years.
