Rainwater and Architecture
It is great to see this piece in The Guardian showing how rainwater harvesting is being incorporated into architecture these days. Some of these buildings are in regions that get quite a bit rain, too. Harvesting rain is always a good idea even in areas not prone to droughts. Every drop harvested is another saved for a river, aquifer, or wetland. Harvesting also presents a buffer that reduces the erosive effects of stormwater runoff. For more, check out my book, "Harvest the Rain," which delves deeply into the benefits of roofwater catchment.
