Rain Water Harvest: In The Beganing

Rain, the water from the sky with many myths behind it, but science calls it the water cycle. For as long there been water and sun on the earth there has been rain being evaporated into the clouds before falling to the ground due to heaviness.

So what happens than well, it gets soaked into the ground and sucked up through the roots of plants. But when there's too much rain for the plant and ground. It sits on the surface collecting together to form bigger bodies of water. if only there was a way to use this wasted water that will soon dry up (unless it forms a lake) and that's where the Gray water scheme comes to play.

Imagine having you have you're own garden (or something else you could put that water to use for), instead of using water that you might have to pay for, you’ll have water for free. and you don’t even need any fancy rain water contraptions. just when you see a rain a coming run out and place buckets out in the open. or better yet get a barrel and a watering can just fill up the watering can in the barrel and water your garden or if you're the strong type place wheels on the barrel and you can pull it round with you. As I've heard someone say before

“use what mother nature provides” sure the rain can just go back into the town supply but aren't you paying for (if you're not??? I don’t know it's environmental) But not only can you use it for such things as gardening you can also use it for fun things like a water fight you can just pick up the buckets and throw the water at people this way you are not only being environmentally friendly collecting water that you know has been treated dued to the evaporation process.

New Zealand is one of the high powered rain country. Most areas of New Zealand have between 600 and 1600 mm of rainfall each year with that much water it would be a waste just to let it clean our streets than clean out our drains.

hope this motivate you to use your rain water. if not stay tune to get more reasoning to why you should rain water harvests.
