Why Rainwater Harvesting?
Let me answer that with a question for you:
Why are you watering your garden, flushing your loo and washing your car with drinking water?
The pressure on the UK's valuable water resources has not been higher. The privatisation of the water companies with the inevitable chase for profits has led to increased cost and often a poorer service for householders and businesses alike. There has never been a better time to consider rainwater harvesting.
Water meters are becoming more and more prevelant with planning authorities starting to insist on their installation on all new builds and even where properties are extended! Rainwater harvesting can provide an excellent way to save on your water bills.
Open a newspaper at any time of year and the dreaded words "hosepipe ban" will stare you in the face. It is not long ago that such bans only occurred in the hottest, driest months of the year.
Ask any gardener about the effect of a drought order on their pride and joy and you will soon understand that this can be a very emotive subject. Rainwater harvesting is already popular with some gardeners although the size of the water butts in use means that water often runs out unless more than one water butt is installed.

The use of harvested rainwater can also reduce the need for expensive water softeners in hard water areas.
And if you cannot find any reasons to consider rainwater harvesting above, just consider how much power it takes to get that valuable drinking water onto your property. If you really want to be environmentally friendly, rainwater harvesting saves power (about half the cost of the water supplied) as well as keeping flourides, chlorine and other nasties off your plants.
