In recent years, rainwater harvesting has become an increasingly popular practice around the world. This technique consists of collecting the water that falls from the sky in a collection and storage system for later use.
Rainwater harvesting can help save money on water bills, reduce demand for water from municipal sources, and protect the environment by reducing the amount of water withdrawn from rivers and aquifers.

In addition, rainwater harvesting can also improve water quality Rainwater is naturally soft and free of minerals and other contaminants found in municipal water sources. This means that the collected water can be used for garden irrigation, car washing, and other uses that do not require potable water
Despite its benefits, rainwater harvesting is still not common in all parts of the world. Some cities and states have implemented policies to encourage its use, but much remains to be done to promote this sustainable and environmentally beneficial practice
