Capturing natural precipitation – rain, snow, hail – and putting to beneficial use on the land it historically fell on.

Must be done in a manner that does not injure existing water rights.

Used effectively in many other states.

Was used in Colorado for centuries.

Should improve stream water quality by retaining nutrients and pollutants and keeping them out of the streams.

Should result in lower water and stormwater costs to homeowners.

Local application of rainwater saves significant water and energy costs compared to other renewable options in South Metro area.

Water Demand Management when incorporated into Land

Planning Dramatically Reduces Consumption at the Home

50% or more reduction over traditional lawn

Has a Colorado aesthetic that is pleasing to home builders and buyers

Can reduce the homeowner’s cost of water even if water prices are high

Rainwater Harvesting

A materially important water source when used with water demand

management

Reliable water source relative to other renewable water supplies

Produces significant water even during drought conditions

Improves water quality

Is very cost efficient when used with stormwater management

Precast Concepts

Alternative to Cisterns – Regional Collection

Regional systems make rainwater harvesting

economically viable.

Can be integrated into an enhanced storm

drainage system:

Increase long-term storage capacity

Pond liners to reduce seepage losses

Reduce nutrient stream loading

Targeted regional precipitation col lection

system could have captured ~480 acre -feet in

2012

About 1/4 of the annual outdoor demand at
