When people call me and ask about services like water and sewer, I tell them the truth and they usually pause, and go WHAT? I tell them it is all natural and a beautiful thing.
Rainwater catchment is an age-old method of catching rain from a surface (generally, a rooftop) and transporting it through a conveyance system (usually gutters and downspouts) to a storage container. This water can be used for domestic supplies, agriculture, landscape, water features (like fountains), public supply, or storm runoff control. In Hawaii, most rainwater catchments are used for domestic water supply and agriculture. The process of harvesting the rain is experiencing a resurgence in the U.S. and throughout the world as global warming and population growth threaten our limited fresh-water supplies. With todays filtration systems and UV, you just can not beat mother nature. There are guidelines in the links section of this website that will help you understand it further. When they ask where does the water come from, I say " Over the Rainbow " as a matter of fact. And then there is the POO. We have a variety of systems here and one is the pool. Just a big hole in the ground. There are limitations based on size of the lot and how close it is to the ocean. When to close for comfort of the county to protect the neighbor and our beautiful ocean, a septic system is required. The pool never needs pumped because we have this natural lava that is full of holes and a natural filtration system built right in. Just right and made by mother nature for when mother nature calls, or POO visits. Number 2 goes without saying much accept if you are on catchment and not much rain to fill the tank, well you may want to ask what the house rules are for number 2. When water is scarce then you do not want to flush good water down too frequently. Sometimes behind the bush outside is a conservative approach. Go Green on the Green, number 2 I mean. but do be shy and not in front of aunties eye. Be kind everybody. David Deweese R B RN Owner Aloha coast Realty and a couple other things. 808-896-5623

This is good way to increase our ground water levels. Catching rain water and sending it through pit holes into ground will help you lot in summer times. Everyone should must do like what blogger is doing this will help the environment and rise in ground water levels all over the city and country too.
