The municipality encourages residents to collect and store rainwater. (Cred: Jonathan Kemper)
Water is a scarce resource and harvesting rainwater is a better option during the rainy season. Harvesting rainwater means to collect and store the water for use later on rather than letting it run off.
Here are the benefits of harvesting rainwater:
It is a natural resource so it’s free
It is easy to install and maintain
It reduces the water bill
It promotes water and energy conservation
It is good for plants and gardens
It supplies you with water when you need it
Rainwater can be used for:
Doing your laundry
Irrigation
Toilet flushing
Pool top-up
Watering the lawn and garden
Washing cars and paving
Cleaning around the house
