Rainwater harvesting is the gathering and accumulation of rainwater. It can be either active or passive.
Active rainwater harvesting is where rainwater is stored for use at a later date. Rainwater can be stored in above ground or underground cisterns, ponds or other storage receptacles. Rainwater can be used in many ways once it has been stored, i.e. for irrigation, fountains, ponds, animals, and domestic uses for humans.
Active rainwater harvesting collects rainwater from your roof, from hard surfaces or in open containers, like rain barrels and storage ponds.
