Rainwater Harvesting
In Texas, over 30% of the water we use goes to outdoor irrigation. When we use rainwater to water our landscape, gardens and container plants, we conserve our drinking water and save money on our water bill. Rainwater is not only free, it's salt-free and a good source of water for all of our plants. The easiest way to begin harvesting rainwater for your home is to collect rainwater from your roof and store it in rain barrels. To learn more about rainwater harvesting click on the following publications: Rainwater Harvesting with Rain Barrels, Rainwater Harvesting “Saving from a Rainy Day". Click on the following to learn about covering your rain barrel with wood slats or paint.
