Although the North Carolina Piedmont is not
currently in a drought, many of us remember 2007, when large portions of Falls
Lake, our primary water source, dried up and the City of Raleigh issued
mandatory watering restrictions.
Things to Consider
Cost will be a big consideration when
building a rainwater storage system. Summer is mainly when we need to water our
vegetables and ornamental plants. Gardens in the Raleigh area should receive
about 60 gallons of water a week per 100 square feet.
