Rainwater Catchment | automated irrigation systems Rainwater
catchment systems capture and store rainwater for landscape
irrigation. A typical house with 2,000 square feet of roof area
receiving 24 inches of rainfall can collect approximately 30,000
gallons of water a year. Rainwater is stored in above or below
ground tanks until needed in the summer to irrigate plants in
the garden. Automated rainwater irrigation systems use pumps,
irrigation controllers and valves to automatically irrigate the
landscape. Rainwater is applied to the landscape using highly
efficient sub-surface drip irrigation. The system automatically
switch to supply domestic water to the landscape if the
rainwater tanks are empty.
