Water is a precious resource. In Uganda, where municipal water supply can be intermittent, a rainwater harvesting system provides water security, reduces utility bills, and promotes self-sufficiency.
How Does It Work?
The concept is simple: collect rainwater from your roof, filter it, and store it in a tank for later use. A typical system includes:

From rooftop to tap: how to get free water.
- Catchment Area: Your roof is the primary collection surface.
- Gutters and Downspouts: These channels guide the water from the roof to the storage tank.
- Filtration System: A simple filter removes leaves, debris, and other contaminants before the water enters the tank.
- Storage Tank: Tanks come in various sizes and materials (plastic or concrete) to suit your needs and budget.
- Distribution System: A pump or gravity-fed system delivers the water to where it's needed, for use in gardens, toilets, or for general cleaning.
