Mandated rainwater harvesting in California's drought could prevent further environmental degradation, overuse of aging infrastructure and also prevent storm water runoff problems. Rainwater catchments from roofs can provide an alternative and sustainable source of water for landscaping, sinks, toilets, washing machines and outdoor use.
Why is this important?
Rainwater harvesting from rooftops in all of California's major cities could save dwindling water supplies across the state. While California endures a drought and faces challenges with aging infrastructure, rainwater harvesting for landscaping and non potable home and business use, could pose a solution to California's water shortage crisis.
