What are the obstacles preventing widespread adoption of rain water harvesting systems?
The main obstacle is changing people’s perspective that water is a cheap and unlimited resource. While the cost of potable water in most municipalities is not even a penny a gallon, as the area grows our finite water sources will beginning running out and building additional reservoirs and water treatment facilities will cost taxpayers billions of dollars. Once the general public recognizes that not only are FreeRain systems the environmentally right thing to do but also will save them money they will push local and state governments to pass more progressive and proactive policies to encourage rainwater harvesting. FreeRain believes in the near future rainwater harvesting will be recognized as an important part of the solution to our water crisis and the systems will become widely used.
