Consequently, many irrigation systems users supplement or replace their standard water supplies with collected supplies of rainwater, harvested from roofs and gutters and stored in tanks.
If you intend to integrate rainwater collection into your irrigation system, choosing the right rainwater collection tank is key to the long term durability and reliability of your system.…
