Rural residents are finding that rainwater collection can be a viable alternative to well water. Since rainwater is generally cleaner than surface water and well water, a rainwater system that is properly designed and installed can supply a household with good, clean water for potable use.

In a residential setting, the average person uses 30 to 50 gallons per day. For a 2-person household, that would be 3,000 gallons per month. A 2,000 sq ft roof will yield over 44,000 gallons of rainwater with 36 inches of annual rainfall, which is more than enough to supply a residence.

Steel and plastic water tanks are economical to install when considering the cost of a having a drilled well.
