Is rain water harvesting anything that could be considered in Ohio? Is
there
too much rain on a regular basis for that to work? I have a long wide

top driveway and under it is a drain to the street that needs to be
replaced.
Estimates run over $4000 and it burns me up that I need to pay that much
to get
rid of water run off.

I'm trying to get someone at Ohio State to call me and tell me about it.
I've
googled it and see how it is used where rain water is too valuable to
lose.

It is done in Ohio. All growers zoned as agriculture have ponds, either
natural or man made from which they pump for irrigation. Some do pump from
a river, but the laws restrict the amount they can pump out.

You could do the same if you have the room or need for a pond.
