Stormwater Capture and Reuse
Stormwater capture and reuse systems encompasses a wide variety of water storage techniques designed to “capture” precipitation, hold it for a period of time, and reuse the water.
Collected rainwater can augment primary water sources. Vertical Storage, Pervious Pavement, Underground Storage/Infiltration systems, Cisterns, Rain Barrels and similar devices are used to capture stormwater from the roofs of buildings. These systems can reduce potable water needs for uses such as irrigation and fire protection while also reducing stormwater discharges.
