Water quality issues have become commonplace in coastal areas, and Cape Cod is no exception. Land development, population growth, and a bulging summertime crowd are causing our water supplies to become vulnerable. Our aquifers are being threatened by septic discharge, chemical plumes, fertilizers, and saltwater infusion. Private wells are plagued by elevated levels of coliform, nitrates, and salinity. Public drinking water supplies are being depleted and new source wells are becoming much harder to find and develop. Storm water runoff and the pollutants it carries are having a negative impact on our streams, ponds, and estuaries. The aquatic plants and animals which inhabit these areas are at risk of becoming endangered.
Rainwater harvesting consists of the capture, filtration, storage, and distribution of rainwater for indoor and outdoor purposes. It is not a new concept; the practice dates back to the early Romans. The current shift toward rainwater collection is the result of present day water concerns and the recognition that a valuable natural resource is being wasted.
In Western Europe (Germany, England, and Belgium) rainwater catchment has been widely practiced for many years. Australia, Africa, India, and many of the Carribean islands all use rainwater harvesting systems to handle potable and non-potable water demands. In the United States, Massachusetts, Virginia, Texas, and California are all at the forefront in advocating and promoting rainwater harvesting. Some states have even incorporated provisions for the use of rainwater catchment in their building codes, while other states offer financial incentives and tax exemptions to encourage the installation of rainwater harvesting systems.
