It’s summer in the northern hemisphere and along with the scorching heat we have the occasional torrential rain.\u00a0 The collection and reuse of rainwater by harvesting systems help provide independent water supplies during regional water restrictions. These systems also circumvent the rainwater washing environmentally harmful lawn pesticides into storm drain, sewers and waterways.\u00a0 When rainwater is harvested we reduce the overall flow of these pollutants into public waterways.
\nIn many regions of our country, cities, counties and even certain states have begun to encouraging rainwater collection to supplement local supply.\u00a0 Many countries worldwide have made rainwater harvesting mandatory.\u00a0 In India, rainwater harvesting to avoid ground water depletion, has been made a requirement for every building.\u00a0 In the United Kingdom a new building code has been established to encourage the use of rainwater collection for everything from flushing toilets to watering their gardens.
