National Petition for Rainwater Harvesting
Published on by Water Network Research, Official research team of The Water Network in Government
ARCSA Has Joined Other Supporters of Rainwater Harvesting, Petitioning the President to Stimulate This Job-creating Trade
The petition reads as follows:
WE PETITION THE PRESIDENT
…to stimulate the emerging rainwater-harvesting industry through legislation or executive order, creating new jobs in design, installation, education, R&D, sales, plumbing, landscaping, roofing, monitoring and maintenance, which could propel the U.S. to international leadership, with compounding fiscal benefits.
The many justifications include:
* Worldwide demand for clean water exceeds supply.
* Rainwater can help fill the gap and reduce stormwater pollution.
* One inch of rain is over 600 gallons per 1,000 sq. ft. of roof.
* Rainwater is a valuable resource that reduces demand on water infrastructure.
* A new national standard, ARCSA/ASPE/ANSI 63 details safe design & installation.
* Treated rainwater can easily surpass EPA standards.
