Rooftop Rainwater Harvesting For Plant Irrigation I: Design Concepts and Water Quantity
FS1162
First Paragraph:
Rainwater harvesting is used as a primary source of
domestic or irrigation water in less-developed countries
and arid climates. This is often the case where water
infrastructure is limited or rain is insufficient for crop
production. However, rainwater harvesting is used
increasingly in developed nations for the irrigation
of crops and landscaped areas and other non-potable
uses. Users include owners of municipal buildings,
businesses, plant nurseries, and individual homes.
