Rainwater harvesting is a technology used to collect, convey and store rain from relatively clean surfaces such as a roof for later use.

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. The practice of collecting rainwater has been used for over 4,000 years throughout the world.
