rainwater collection
Catching falling droplets
Rainwater collection is the practice of gathering and storing rain, typically from rooftops into barrels or cisterns.
The collected water serves irrigation, toilet flushing, or after treatment, drinking.
Also called rainwater harvesting.
The city offers rebates for rainwater collection systems.
