Rain Harvesting Supported in Some Arid Western States

Technology improvements have lead to a popularity gain in the eco-friendly activity of rain harvesting. Water storage systems are manufactured and promoted in New Mexico and Arizona. A one inch rain on a 2000 sq. ft roof generates over 1000 gallons of free water.

Drinking and bathing in the collected rainwater is not recommended unless it is treated to health department standards. Roof water carries leaves, dust, bugs, bird excrement into rain capture storage systems and should be filtered. It is heavily suggested that rainwater is used in a manner that returns the moisture to the earth near the location where it fell.
