A stormwater harvesting and reuse system is a setup designed to capture, store, and repurpose rainwater runoff from surfaces like roofs, streets, and paved areas. The system typically includes components such as collection drains, filters to remove debris and contaminants, storage tanks or basins, and pumps or pipes to deliver the water where it’s needed.
Once collected and treated as needed, the stormwater can be reused for non-potable purposes such as irrigation, toilet flushing, industrial cooling, or even groundwater recharge. These systems help reduce the burden on stormwater infrastructure, decrease pollution in nearby waterways, and conserve potable water supplies. By managing runoff more effectively, stormwater harvesting and reuse systems support sustainable water practices and help communities build resilience against water shortages and extreme weather events.
