Rain Barrels to a Whole New Level

User Article   2692 Views   By lgwvpro on Dec 14 2008, 8:10 am

Once again I find myself blown away at what is coming out of Aquascape Inc. What are the putting in the water up there in St. Charles? Greg Wittstock "The Pond Guy" and the folks from Aquascape have taken rain water harvesting to a whole new level.

 

Here are some facts:

 

Did You Know?

 

  • 1 inch of rainfall on a 2,000 sq. ft. residential roof generates 1,250 gallons of water that can be reused.
  • That same roof in a region receiving 30 inches of annual rainfall generates 41,000 gallons of reusable water.
  • The average US household with a 10,000 square foot lot uses 5,000 gallons of water weekly for landscape irrigation.
  • Running a sprinkler for 2 hours can use up to 500 gallons of water.
  • The RainXchangeâ„¢ allows you to collect thousands of gallons of water anywhere, even in the Desert!

    •  

    They have a brand new absolutly amazing website that talks about facts like these as well as what they are doing to be the leader in the rain harvesting movement. If you care about the environment and our most valuable resource "water", then you have to check out this site. You'll come away with a lot. I know I did!!
