DIY Rainwater Harvesting Systems You Can Build at Home

Around 600 gallons of rainwater can be harvested from about one inch of rain if it falls from a thousand-square foot roof. Doesn’t that sound like a lot of water that you could harvest and use for free?

There are several solutions available today that allow you to utilize the free water from the sky for a lower price. This is not only eco-friendly but delivers some extra water security during hurricane season.

For example, a 20,000 litre storage tank/bag can comfortably store the monthly rain captured by 1,000 sq.ft. of roof space.

This would deliver over 113,000 litres per year, equal to about US$900, with a payback of under 10 years.

Here's a nice infographic by CustomMade explaining why you should collect rainwater at home and how to do it properly.
