Hi, I'm really concerned about water conservation. Does anyone know of
any good products to divert/harvest rain water???


Why the concern? Water is not something that we consume when we use
it. We just borrow it. Regardless of the useage, the water goes back
into the water table after we have used it. The only exception is
that portion which evaporates and that precipates back to earth.


Considerable amounts of rainfall run off- via drains, streams, creeks,
rivers, into Bays or Oceans directly. Hardly going to the water table.

Billie-

Where do you live? Do any of your neighbors have cisterns?
