Rain Collection: How Using a Rainwater Collection System Can Help You Survive

There are many ways to prepare for a disaster. But for most of us, preparing for an emergency or natural disaster involves preparing drinking water for when the municipal water source becomes unreliable and survival food buckets for when food shortages strike our grocery stores.

What if we told you that you didn't need to buy hundreds of water bottles or draw countless gallons of water from the tap? What if, instead, we told you there is a way to use rainwater collection to fill your water storage containers for free?

Keep reading to learn more about the history of rainwater collection and modern rainwater collection systems. The rainwater you collect now could mean the difference if sh*t hits the fan (SHTF) later on.

People collect rainwater for all sorts of reasons, the major one being that collecting rainwater gives you a free water source. Free water and lower monthly water bills are hard to beat, but it's not the only benefit of rain collection.

  • Rainwater is an ideal backup source of water in case of emergency.
     
  • Collecting rainwater reduces stormwater runoff from your home and therefore solves drainage problems on your property.
     
  • Rainwater can irrigate the landscape around your home, specifically your small home garden.
     
  • Rainwater collectors promote self-sufficiency and help conserve water.


There are so many other great reasons, we can't even list all of the benefits. But if you're interested, we go very in-depth on water storage HERE on our blog - check it out!
