Do you want to save money on water, or would you like to be able to become less dependent on municipal services for your every day life? If so, you might want to set up a rainwater catchment system. This is something that has been done since ancient times, and the basic methods haven’t changed much.
You could just have a basic system set up that lets you collect rainwater to use for watering crops or filling a trough for animals, but it could also be slightly more complicated and be used for washing clothes and flushing toilets. If you want to use the water for drinking, it will require a more advanced filtration and purification system set up.
It is important that you pay attention to where the water you collect runs. If you collect it off of a roof, there shouldn’t be any flaking paint or bird droppings on the roof since this could affect your health.
