Rainwater Harvesting - A Sustainable Water Supply

Welcome to our new website. Some pages are still under construction. Let us know what you think !

Rainwater harvesting is an ancient technique that is common place in many areas of the world and is enjoying a big revival in popularity in North America because of its inherent qualities. Rain or "living water" is valued for its purity and softness. Rainwater is almost neutral in ph, free of salts and minerals, and if collected properly, virtually free of natural and man made contaminants.

In British Columbia rain is being harvested for:
  • Rural and Island residents who need a sustainable water source for drinking and household use as an alternative or supplement to:
    • low volume wells that go dry in the summer,
    • limited piped water supply, or
    • poor quality well water
  • Those of us wanting an independent supply of water for fire and earthquake protection
  • Conservationists who strive for sustainable, efficient use of water resources
  • Gardeners who prefer rainwater for healthier plants
  • Commercial green houses
  • Urban public buildings for toilet flushing and outdoor use
