We’re a water stressed country. We don’t have enough water resources to go around. Even once we get water in our managed infrastructure, nearly half of that leaks out of the system [...] a simple green plastic water storage tank, strategically placed to harvest rainwater, can help to meaningfully change millions of lives in a relatively short period of time. [...] Cape Town residents will have to start looking seriously at drinking recycled water from the local sewage works within the next few years as water supplies are running out [...] using rainwater inside the home all year round and not just necessarily for garden irrigation. Garden irrigation is still most economically done with recycled greywater.

Some say the next world war will be fought for water. Water is without a doubt the world most precious resource. Through harvesting rainwater [...] The typical household can save up to 90% of their water bill through a combination of harvesting rainwater, greywater recycling and other water saving technologies. [...] There is a misperception about the differences between rainwater harvesting systems and systems that recycling waste water. There is also a misperception as to the possible end use of water from these systems. Rainwater harvesting systems use rainwater collected from the roof and should not be confused with systems that recycle treated wastewater or greywater [...] As demand for water is growing rapidly and most cities are facing a water crisis, rainwater harvesting should be made mandatory across the country.
