Rainwater Harvesting For Your Homestead Master the art of harvesting rainwater for your homestead. America is running out of water. Climate change and population growth are two major factors that - combined - have potentially increased water shortages. Add to that the requirement of clean water for farming and other homestead activities, and you can see why water shortages might leave America dry. According to National Geographic, an average American uses 80 to 100 gallons of water every day, and the nation's daily total usage is estimated to be 345 billion gallons. This greatly strains the available freshwater and groundwater resources. But there is one largely untapped source - completely natural and safe - that goes amiss: rainwater.
