COMMERCIAL, MILITARY AND INDUSTRIAL BENEFITS OF RAINWATER HARVESTING
- It is free; the only cost is for collection and use.
- It lessens demand on the municipal water supply.
- It saves money on utility bills.
- It makes efficient use of a valuable resource.
- It diminishes flooding, erosion, and the flow to storm water drains.
- It reduces the contamination of surface water with sediments, fertilizers and pesticides from rainwater run-off resulting in cleaner lakes, rivers, oceans and other receivers of storm water.
- It can be used to recharge groundwater.
- It is good for irrigation and plants thrive because stored rainwater is free from pollutants as well as salts, minerals, and other natural and man-made contaminants.
- It is good for laundry use as rainwater is soft and lowers the need for detergents.
- It adds life to equipment dependent on water to operate, as rainwater does not produce corrosion or scale like hard water.
- It can help achieve LEED Green Building Rating Credit.
