What is rainwater harvesting and why is it Important?

Water is our most precious natural resource and something that most of us take for granted. We are now increasingly becoming aware of the importance of water to our survival and its limited supply.

The harvesting of rainwater simply involves the collection of water from surfaces on which rain falls, and subsequently storing this water for later use. Normally water is collected from the roofs of buildings and stored in rainwater tanks. Water can also be collected in dams from rain falling on the ground and producing runoff.

Harvesting Rainwater in South Texas

When properly collected, and handled, rainwater can frequently all but replace tap water sources. It is low in sodium, free of chemicals, and best of all – free! As a result, rainwater harvesting continues to grow in popularity in the Victoria and South Texas area.

The practice of rainwater collection only makes good common sense. Additionally, the practice helps to keep the environment in tip-top condition by helping to reduce flooding and erosion in heavily prone areas.

Rainwater is free of man-made pollutants and chemicals, including chlorination. Thus, it is often the better option. Since rainwater helps to flush the salt buildup from plants and soil, it helps plants to grow stronger and quicker, often cutting down on overall landscaping maintenance costs while providing a healthier environment.

Although barrels were once the only popular option for rainwater collection, several alternative options now exist. In fact, many modern rainwater collectors, such as though provided by Superior Gutters, acquire water from gutters, turning the roof into a catchment.
