A rooftop system for catching those rainfall inches is the most common form of rainwater catchment system; where rainfall runoff is directed into rainwater collection containers or tanks.
Rain water collection can still be advantageous to gardeners living in areas where water collection isn't really necessary because the rainfall average in their area is an adequate amount.
Even in those locations, there is generally a few times a year when a short term drought occurs and supplemental irrigation from the spigot becomes necessary to keep gardens from submitting to the elements.
While this type of water supplementation helps to keep the plants alive, it is not until enough rainfall inches have fallen that vegetation really perks up with renewed vibrancy.
Rain harvesting systems are inexpensive and can be built into structures so that they are barely visible, yet always catching those precious rainfall inches. Rainwater containers or tanks can be buried in the ground or placed in a basement, invisible but highly useful.
Rooftop systems can be made so that they are virtually invisible from the ground. Look into rainwater harvesting as a way to save you money, to help reduce your impact on the environment and to bring a stream of fresh water to you each day.
