Just a couple centimeters of rain falling on an average roof can yield over 2,000 litres of water. Imagine how that could add up over time, and how that water can help save you money! Instead of having to pay for it, you would be able to quickly and easily collect it for free. The question is; how much rain could you catch in a year? You can work it out by clicking here.
