My Climate Change Garden

The Ryder Cup may be suffering in this wet and dreary weather but now is the time to think about the value of harvesting some of this rain. For gardeners rain is like liquid gold – never there when you need it!

• Rainwater harvesting in the UK has increased by approximately 300% in the last two years
• Rainharvesting can replace up to 50% of a household mains water consumption, and up to 85% on commercial installations
• Collecting rain from your roof reduces surface water by approximately 60% per plot
• Rainwater harvesting in Germany is over 100 times the current use in the UK
• The payback period can be as quick as 3 years on buildings with large roofs and a high non-potable water demand
