Water Conservation

Here is the facts on our water supply although our local municipality told me that rainwater harvesting is not feasible since and I quote "our water is too cheap here".

Nearly 97% of the world's water is saltwater or otherwise undrinkable. Another 2% is held in ice caps and glaciers. That leaves just one percent for all of humanity's needs - agricultural, residential, manufacturing, and community needs.
At least 1 billion people must walk three hours or more to obtain drinking water. Nearly 2% of U.S. homes have no running water. (United States Geological Survey)
