Department of Environment should instigate rain harvesting scheme

With the continued controversy over public water charges, I have had many enquiries and letters, with regard to the harvesting of rain water for domestic use, and what funding, if any, is available to have it installed.

The harvesting of rain water is nothing new.

Practices of the past, particularly in rural areas, are now being revived, as alternatives to what we have today. Water conservation was always a priority.
