Rainwater

Outdoor water use often represents 50% or more of a household’s average total water use. Rainwater catchment systems allow us to reduce our consumption of a very limited resource in the Southwest. Rainwater catchment systems safely collect and store rainwater for later use in landscape applications. In addition to saving groundwater, rainwater catchment has other environmental benefits, including leaching salts that have built up from prolonged groundwater usage and preventing flooding and erosion due to heavy rains. Using rainwater for your irrigation needs can reduce your monthly water bill and ease your impact on Tucson’s aquifer.
