Rainwater Harvesting Systems

Rainwater harvesting systems from Continental Carbon are designed to collect and store rainwater for future use.

Our rainwater harvesting systems are built with a catchment area, a conveyance system, and a storage tank.  Systems can also be built to include a pump, water treatment system and fixtures for the use of water.  Depending on the design and level of water treatment and purification, harvested rainwater can be used for outdoor irrigation, domestic purposes, and even potable uses when combined with Continental Carbon’s water treatment solutions.

Benefits of rainwater harvesting include:

• Adding to municipal water supply:  When large volumes of water are collected it can contribute to lower water bills for municipalities.
• Reduces the amount of water entering the sewer/storm water system: Harvesting rainwater helps to protect rivers, watersheds, streams, creeks by minimizing the amount of water entering the sewer /storm water system.
• Replenishment of ground water:  Using harvested rainwater for irrigation, or directing overflow into a a garden will helps to refill groundwater sources.
