How to Use Rainwater for Home and Garden Needs

Rainwater harvesting is an effective and sustainable way to conserve water reducing the strain on natural resources. It is the process of collecting run-off water and storing it in a tank for later use. In this blog we will discuss how to use rainwater for your home and garden with the help of rainwater harvesting.

1. Install a Rain Harvesting System

Installing a rain harvesting system is the first step towards using rainwater for home and garden needs.

The system consists of a collection area, gutters, downspouts, a filter, and a storage tank. The collection area can be your home’s roof or any other flat surface.

Rainwater is collected by the gutters and downspouts and then directed to the filter, which removes any debris and impurities.

The filtered water is then stored and kept in a tank for future use.

2. Choose the Right Storage Tank

When selecting a storage tank, consider the size of your roof, the amount of rainfall in your area, and your household needs. Sheetal Group offers a wide selection of water storage tanks that are UV stabilised and made from 100% virgin polymers.

4. Use of Rainwater in Garden
