Why harvest rainwater?
A 1000 square foot roof will produce 625 gallons of water from only 1 inch of rainfall! According to the National Weather Service, average annual rainfall for the north Georgia area is around 50 inches. This is equal to over 31,000 gallons in one year.
Depending on the grade of your lot, this water can
potentially create drainage problems leading to erosion
and water damage to your home. Prevent these serious
problems while creating a supply for your outdoor
watering needs.
