Harvesting rain water is a great way to reduce your water consumption, keeping your lawn healthy and green. While there are many ways to collect rain water, it is easiest to install a rain harvesting system. These systems are designed to collect water to run your irrigation system, fill your pool or refill a decorative fountain. 

Collecting rain water has a variety of benefits. Less rain water can reduce storm water run-off and keep you from having drainage problems from excess moisture. Using rain water to water your plants also promotes vigor because rain water is not chlorinated. 

Installing a rain water harvesting system will help your lawn stay green, even during the dry winter months in Florida. These systems can not only support your lawn watering needs, but supply your entire house with fresh water. Rain harvesting systems can also be used as a back-up for your well or municipal water source.
