Underground water levels have been depleting at a very fast rate. One of way of trying to maintain underground water level is rainwater harvesting. In this process rainwater is not allowed to get wasted away instead it is accumulated and stored in natural reservoirs or tanks for reuse of water. This is an eco-friendly measure of sustaining water level.Texas residential rainwater collection system installs their collection system that uses best materials and technology. Simple illustration shows the water that falls on the metal roof gets collected in a tank via a Gutter and filter in the tank. Rain water collecting system The rainwater collection system is primarily based on 3 principle components: Catchment Area Rooftop catchments are collection of rooftop water by a vessel being placed at the corner of the rooftop and it get collected in the tank by a gutter. Land catchment provides opportunity of collecting water from a larger surface area. Collection Devices The collection devices consist of storage tanks or rainfall water containers. The storage tanks can be placed either above or below the ground. Rainfall water containers are an alternative to storage containers. Conveyance Systems This system transfers the water from the rooftop to the storage tanks. Usually gutters are used to transfer the water to these tanks.

Post discussion the installation is done and you can begin rainwater harvesting. They offer complete rainwater harvesting systems comprising of catchment area, collection devices and conveyance system. Factors that affect harvesting The factors that affect the collection of rainwater by using the Texas rainwater collecting system are – The annual rainfall in your area.
