Catching, conserving, and Using water
-
-
-
-
Rainwater catchment
Harvesting rainwater
Artificial methods
Rooftop water collection
not for household use because of possible debris contamination from roof. Can be used for gardens if harvested on a tin roof. Not possible from an asphalt roof (Dr. Bardati's lecture on Water and Permaculture).
Materials
-
-
Drums (to store water)
-
Food grade, food-safe plastic drums
For hotter and longer summers (like Mexico), water collection can be fall into a reservoir below the house.
-
A house usually has the appropriate surface area to have enough space to collect rainwater for the whole dry season
-
Natural watersheds(Dr. Bardati's lecture on Water and Permaculture). - Working with natural landscape and watersheds to capture water and store it in natural ways
Lakes, ponds & natural swimming pools
Natural habitat for different species of plants, animals, insects, birds etc.

Swales are human-directed water collection systems, but can be easily integrated into natural patterns, therefore can fit into the natural watersheds, as they require those natural watersheds.
