Collecting and storing rain on the farm

2026-06-26 · Agriculture #rainwater #storage #farm

Roofs, sheds and shaded storage can turn seasonal rain into water you can use later.

Rain falls in short periods; crops and animals need water all year. Capturing roof runoff in clean storage can help bridge the gap.

  • Keep gutters and first-flush arrangements clean.
  • Cover storage to keep out light, leaves and animals.
  • Place storage on a firm, level base.
  • Use stored water for the purposes it is suitable for; treat it before drinking.
