There is wide spread interest in water conservation and specifically in capturing and reusing rainwater in both residential and commercial buildings to reduce costs, reduce the environmental impact of the building and lessen the load on the municipal sewer and stormwater systems in the arid southwest where droughts are a way of life.
Harvesting rainwater from rooftops is

municipal drinking water for many non-drinking water (i.e. non-potable)
applications (e.g. landscape, toilet flushing) as well as drinking water. There are two general types of rainwater catchment
systems - "active" or "passive". Most professionally installed systems
incorporate aspects of both to maximize the water conserved. >> More
