Defined:
Rainwater harvesting is the
collection, conveyance, and storage of rainwater.
We North Texans take pride in our beautiful, green yards.
Unfortunately, we do this in an
area that would not produce even one green yard naturally without a tremendous
amount of water. In fact, we use more water per capita than any
other area of the state. This website will not cover potable water, only water used for irrigation collected from rooftops, not land based. If you intend to use the harvesting system as drinking water, it is very important to consult a professional about your system. For

Rainwater Harvesting The State of Texas estimates 2 billion gallons of water could be generated annually in a large metropolitan area the size of Dallas if we only used 10% of our roof area to harvest rainwater. Join our email list here. Green
