Rainwater collection tanks do just what the name suggests: collect rainwater. This rainwater can be used for a wide variety of things, all while allowing you to make water conservation efforts that will benefit the planet. While rainwater collection tanks can have limitations placed on them and you should therefore refer to local regulations, they offer so many benefits while providing such a simple service.
Collected rainwater can be used for a variety of chores and purposes around your home. For example, rinsing off root vegetables, such as carrots and potatoes, washing off the family car or lawnmower, and watering your houseplants are just a few of the tasks that can be accomplished with water collected from a rainwater collection tank. These activities are all things that you do anyway, so why not use the collected rainwater and conserve water from municipal supplies?
Not only does using rainwater collection tanks provide you with water to use for your daily tasks, but it also allows you to become less reliant on groundwater. Groundwater, though a helpful resource, could become depleted and not sustain the areas of the country that currently rely on it. Using collected rainwater can help combat groundwater depletion by providing a sustainable source of water that can be used for many of the same processes that groundwater is used for.
