Direct: Establish gutters and direction to guide and capture your rooftop water.
Capture: A downspout, debris/leafeater/filter and overflow system should be installed at each catchment base.
Collect: A cistern or storage tank can be as simple as a 50-gallon rain barrel to a more complex array of tanks. I have a 1,300-gallon main catchment tank.
Store: The tanks need to be able to capture and move the water where desired. Personally, I catch in the main tank, and then pump to two additional 1,600-gallon storage tanks.
Use: As the summer heats up, I’ve created a gravity flow system on automatic timers to water my 22 fruit trees. Having a system of spigots also allows for hooking up a hose to water other areas. Last, having a pump allows me to move water to different locations under high pressure if needed. I can even wash my cars!
