Four environmental benefits of rainwater harvesting
The practice of rainwater harvesting is an important and vital part of developing a sustainable water resource path for any community, here are four environmental benefits of rainwater harvesting:
- Rainwater harvesting can reduce stormwater runoff from a property. The elimination of runoff can reduce contamination of surface water with pesticides, sediment, metals, and fertilisers.
- By reducing stormwater runoff, rainwater harvesting can reduce a storm’s peak flow volume and velocity in local creeks, streams, and rivers, thereby reducing the potential for streambank erosion.
- Rainwater harvesting systems can be employed as simple and effective methods to meet a council's stormwater management program requirements of individual properties.
- It is an excellent source of water for plants and landscape irrigation since it has no chemicals such as fluoride and chloramines (chlorine).
