| Abstract/Contents: | "Many are looking for an affordable alternative water source for landscape irrigation. For the average landscape, the most cost effective option is a rainwater collection system. Water use greatly increases during the irrigation season. Water utilities must have supply, treatment capability, and infrastructure to supply this increase in water use. As large urban areas grow in population and development, the cost of supply, treatment and infrastructure increases therefore the water cost to customers increase. For every square foot of imperious surface, a one inch rainfall will collect 0.623 gallons of water. So a 2,000 square foot building can collect 1200 gallons every one inch rain. A 10,000 square foot office building or parking lot can collect 6,000 gallons from every one inch rain. Rainwater in the most areas is salt free and slightly acidic. Plants benefit from slightly acid water." |
