Rainwater Harvesting, Rain Barrels Gone Hi-Tech
John Mulkey of Waleska Georgia posted this article and link about rainwater harvesting. It is something that we all can do so easily to hlep save our limited and dwindling water resources.
Once an essential feature in most American homes, the old rain barrel placed below a downspout or area of roof runoff, is being replaced by a new breed of rain collection devices. More versatile and with dramatically more capacity, today's rainwater harvesting systems can be installed unobtrusively in crawlspaces, under decks, or buried underground.
The new systems come with filters, pumps and can supply all the watering needs of the average gardener without putting a "drain" on the wallet or increasing the demand on municipal water supplies. For more information, see the latest "Frugal Living" article on The Housing Guru.
