Rainwater Harvesting & Drainage Solutions
Rainwater harvesting is a sustainable approach that allows homeowners to collect, store, and repurpose rainfall for on-site irrigation. Using harvested rainwater is a green strategy that uses less energy, costs less and reduces demand on potable water supplies.
Benefits of Harvesting Rainwater
- Rainwater harvesting can enhance sustainable gardening by supplying much or all of your outdoor watering needs.
- Rainwater is ideal for watering plants because it is free from minerals and chemicals that are frequently present in municipal water, is slightly acidic and carries nitrogen which helps fertilize plants.
- Collecting rainwater provides an independent water supply during water restrictions.
- Creative & functional drainage systems, like rain gardens, are cost-effective strategies to eliminate drainage and flooding problems, prevent stormwater pollution and control erosion.

Rainwater Education & REsources
One inch of rainfall on a 2,000 square-foot house yields approximately 1,240 gallons of water. In New England that means you could be collecting and using up to 26,000 gallons of free water during the growing season!
