Rainwater Catchment in Green Building

Rainwater Harvesting in Green Homes 


Note: Although this website is for the climate zone that includes North Texas and Central Texas, it will apply to many areas of the country. Regardless of your climate zone, the first priority for green building or energy-efficient remodeling is to hire a green builder or architect who understands and uses up-to-date green building practices for your area.

Man has always harvested rainwater, although public water systems have caused us to lose most of the skills necessary to do this.

There is a growing interest in rainwater catchment, however, because

  • The escalating environmental and economic costs of providing water by drilling or centralized water systems
  • Health concerns regarding the source and treatment of polluted waters
  • The perception that there are cost efficiencies associated with rainwater harvesting.
  • The fact that rainwater harvesting or catchment systems provide a source of soft, high quality water
  • Systems are usually cost-effective.
