Rainwater harvesting systems can be employed as simple and effective methods to raise ground water as well as to meet a municipality’s stormwater management program requirements of individual properties. It is an excellent source of water for plants and landscape irrigation since it has no chemicals such as fluoride and chloramines (chlorine). Typically, the end use of the rainwater is located on the property where the rainwater is collected. Replacing municipal water use at a home and property with rainwater reduces the amount of water that a municipality has to treat and then pump to your house. The treatment and pumping of municipally provided water require a lot of energy. The implementation of rainwater harvesting can help meet new standards of energy and water efficiency ratings and codes that are being developed in communities.
