Municipal water networks are vulnerable to disaster events like earthquakes, flooding, pollutants and water shortages caused by drought or poor management. With a rainwater system a home or community can capture and collect water suitable for drinking, cooking and gardening even during periods where there is insufficient rainfall to satisfy the public water network. Other benefits cited by the collection of rainwater include reducing expense (in regions where water supply is not free), lowers local demand on freshwater resources, reduces risk of flooding in low-lying areas and slows erosion in dry environments<ref>https://www.treehugger.com/beginners-guide-to-rainwater-harvesting-5089884</ref>. Water is typically captured from a sloped roof, but it can also be captured from a structure deliberately built for the purpose. | |||
