RAINWATER HARVESTING


Rainwater harvesting techniques have been used for centuries to make the most out of rain fall in the desert. Rainwater harvesting captures, contains and distributes rainwater on your property for use by landscape plants, edibles, wildlife and water features. The benefits of rainwater harvesting include:
  • saving money on your water bill
  • improving the health of your plants; rainwater is better for plants than tap water, it contains less salt and more plant-boosting nitrogen
Our scarce rainfall in the desert is a reason to retain water, not waste water.

Please take advantage of the resources that follow to get the information you need to start harvesting rainwater in your landscape.
