Harvested rainwater can be directly used for a variety of purposes such as: flushing the toilet, washing clothes, cleaning cars and watering the garden. With additional treatment rainwater can also be used for washing dishes, showers or baths, and drinking. Having your own store of rainwater makes your household independent of the mains water supply and allows you to water your garden when there is a hosepipe ban.
