+The use of rainwater in private households reached a peak in the 1990s, but the droughts of
+recent years in Germany have brought this technology back into focus.
+Many people are becoming aware that drinking water is too valuable for watering the
+garden or flushing the toilet, even for the washing machine at home.
+Of the 130 litres of water that every citizen statistically consumes per day, more than 50
+litres are for the latter purposes and therefore ideal for the use of rainwater. Rainwater
+utilization systems consist of a storage tank, a filter, the corresponding separate pipe system
+and a pump. The rainwater collected on the roof reaches the storage tank through pipes and
+can then be directed to the respective consumers with the pump. Rainwater utilization
+conserves water resources, relieves the sewerage system and sewage treatment plants
+during heavy rainfall and helps to reduce the risk of flooding.
