In optimum scenarios, 1 inch of rainfall collected off of a 1000 square foot surface can equal 600 gallons of captured water. If half of every household's water supply could be sustained by a Rain Catchment System, we would greatly alleviate the
pressures on our current water sources.
Water use for an average household in North America is 293
gallons per day. In this chart, we can see that more than 50% of our average water use does not need to be potable water.
The average household is not designed to differentiate between fixtures that need potable water and those that don't.
System sizes are determined by square footage of catchment
area, annual rainfall & water demand.
A home Rain Catchment System can supply water to any or all of these uses:
* Toilets * Clothes Washer * Faucets * Dishwasher * Showers * Baths
* Landscaping * Potable Use
