Rainwater harvesting.

Although rainwater harvesting is a subject which is always on my mind, there is only a very small amount of water that I am able to capture.

Due to my very limited mobility, the volume captured is very limited in comparison to the rainwater that isn’t. This is a continual annoyance.

This being said, there has been a degree of success. Some roof water has been captured in underground sumps for plant roots to scavenge, rather it being allowed to flow into street drains.

XUIt is interesting to note that, for every square mitre of roof surface you have available to you, it is possible to capture a litre of water from each mililitre of precipation that falls (and it is free). Reflect for a moment; upon the volume of water that runs away from our ever increasing area of car parks and highways.

From the small amount of rainwater that I have stored, the garden benefits, usually by way of a watering can.

Just give a little thought to the opportunities available in your area!

Hoping that this personal story, encourages you to consider possibilities.

Best regards,

Ken.
