Rainwater harvesting is a technology used to collect, convey and store rain from relatively clean surfaces such as a roof or parking lot for later use. This is water that would otherwise have gone down the drainage system, into the ground or been lost to the atmosphere via evaporation. The water is generally stored in a rainwater tank or directed into mechanisms that can recharge groundwater. Rainwater harvesting can provide water for human consumption, reduce water bills and lessen the need to build reservoirs which may require the use of valuable land.

POTABLE AND NON-POTABLE SYSTEMS
Harvesting rainwater for lawn and garden irrigation is the most common form of rainfall reuse in the U.S. This can be as basic as a rain barrel to catch 50-60 gallons from a downpour, which is then pushed by gravity through a garden hose for hand watering. Or it can be as complicated as an extensive high-performance customized drip irrigation system with substantial storage capacity, timers and multiple watering zones, requiring municipal approval and inspection. H2Options can help you determine what system is best for your situation and provide you with the most up-to-date technology to meet your needs.
Commercial rainwater harvesting systems must be custom-designed for each location. H2Options will work with your engineers and architects to determine the specific design and technology that will be most economical and suitable for the specific location.

Although fresh rainwater is generally regarded as very good drinking water, this is not always the case, particularly after the water has been held in a storage tank for some period of time. To make rainwater potable, additional filtering and purification steps are highly recommended and often required based on specific local conditions and prior storage. Moreover, the rainwater catchment system must be pressurized to provide the water for household use. With the application of modern technology, rainwater can be the perfect drinking water, excellent for all in-home use, superior to municipal or well water. H2Options monitors new developments in water purification technology throughout the world and can design a system that will meet your needs, including proper system sizing, back-up power supplies for the filtration/pumps and connection to municipal water facilities as redundant supply should rainfall be inadequate or the system is offline for maintenance.
