Rainwater collection is a way to conserve water that can be adopted by both private homeowners and businesses. Harvesting water during peak times of precipitation ensures water will be on hand during drought or when water restrictions are implemented. Making use of rainwater reduces reliance on underground wells or municipal water systems. Harvesting rainwater also can help prevent flooding and soil erosion.The average homeowner can collect thousands of gallons of rainwater each year. To learn just how much water can be harvested, as well as how many natural resources can be produced from that rain, visit www.save-the-rain.com, where men and women can calculate their rain collection potential by geographic location and average rainfall. Afterward, homeowners may be inclined to establish their own rainwater harvesting systems. Here is how to get started.* Determine your roofing material. Potable water can be harvested from homes with sheet metal
or adobe tiles also may be acceptable. Asphalt, wood shingles and tar roofs may leach toxic chemicals into the water, making it unsafe for drinking. This rainwater may only be collected to use for irrigation methods or washing cars and outdoor items.
materials. Some gutters are made with lead soldering components. A commercial lead swab test can help you determine if there is lead present in your gutters. At a later time you can choose to replace the gutters if you desire a potable supply of water.
* Invest in a collection tank or barrel. A number of manufacturers offer prefabricated rain
collection systems complete with collection barrels. Otherwise, you can use your own barrel or tank to house the collected water. Ensure it is large enough to handle the volume of water collected.
* Purchase and install leaf guards. If your home is surrounded by many trees, you probably accumulate leaf and tree debris in your home gutters and downspouts. Leaf guards will help keep the gutters clear and increase water flow through the water collection system.
collection area. A portion of the gutter system should be removed so that it connects to the collection barrel or tank. As the rain falls, it will run down the roof and into the gutters before it streams into the downspouts. The downspout connected to the tank will deposit the water directly inside. Filters can be installed to help block the flow of debris.* Outfit the tank for overflow and water usage. A spigot and hose connection makes it easy to use the collected water for outdoor purposes. Many rainwater collection systems are designed with an overflow safeguard that will prevent the water from backing up through the system. It will divert the rainwater back out of the downspout when the barrel or tank is full. A rainwater collection system harnesses a natural source of water to be used for gardens and other outdoor purposes. This water doesn’t contain chlorine or other additives, making it relatively clean and safe to use. Homeowners should check to see if a permit is necessary to install a rainwater collection system and then begin gathering water for various uses.
How to create a rainwater harvesting
systemRather than have rainwater flow out of downspouts to the ground, homeowners can
collect that rainwater in barrels to use it as a sustainable source of water.

Homeowners are often interested in projects to improve the aesthetic appeal of their homes, particularly those that may increase the curb appeal of their properties. But some projects, including improving attic ventilation, can benefit a home even when they aren’t especially eye-catching.Attic venting preserves the life of a roof while improving the energy efficiency of a home. Although it may seem counterproductive to let air into the attic when you are sealing drafts elsewhere in the home, there is rhyme and reason to venting an attic throughout the year.
What is attic ventilation?Attic ventilation is a system of air intake and exhaust that creates a flow of air through the attic. In the summertime, air flowing through the attic will cool temperatures within the attic, preventing damage to the underside of roofing shingles and preventing ambient heat from traveling inside of a home. In the winter, air flow helps to keep the attic cool and dry. This prevents moisture that can lead to mold and rot issues from building up inside of the attic. Attic ventilation also prevents warm indoor temperatures
and rising heat from warming up roofs during the winter, creating the freeze-thaw pattern that results in ice dams.
Improving attic air flowMany attics already contain passive ventilation in the form of vents or ventilation strips built into the edge of the roof. Other vents may appear in gables or eaves. Some homeowners prefer the addition of an attic fan to work in concert with existing venting. The spring season is an ideal time to have an attic fan installed because the weather is temperate, making it easier to work up in the attic.According to Natural Light Energy Systems, attic temperatures can exceed 160 F on hot summer days. Proper attic ventilation can reduce those temperatures by up to 40 F, prolonging the life of the roof. Attic ventilation also reduces the load on heating and cooling systems. No matter how much insulation is in an attic, some transfer of attic air will occur between the home and the attic, and that transfer makes heating and air conditioning systems run longer and harder to compensate. Homeowners who notice
running endlessly to keep the home comfortable can benefit from improved attic ventilation, as can those homeowners whose attics feature moisture damage in the way of rusty nails or moldy wood framing. An attic fan is often an effective remedy to these issues.
Attic fan 101The installation of an attic fan is best left to a professional, as it requires running wiring to the fan and it may necessitate cutting into the roof for venting. Many fans work with a thermostat and will turn on when the air temperature in the attic reaches a certain temperature. The fan will circulate the air, helping to keep the attic cooler and dryer. Also, the fan can help expel fumes from cooking or appliances from the home.
that attic fans can reduce energy bills considerably
work more efficiently. Keeping attics cool and dry may also reduce how
need to be turned on or at which temperatures
thermostats in the home are set.Improving attic ventilation may not add much to a home’s curb appeal, but
such a project can save homeowners money and provide year-round benefits.
Improving attic ventilation benefits the roof and more
Passive and active venting systems for attics help keep homes comfortable and energy-efficient all year long.

“The staff appears to havea firm commitment
to watchdog journalismthat serves their readers well.”
For the second time in four years, Sauk Valley Media has won theGeneral Excellence competition among mid-sized newspapers in Illinois.Here is what the judges said:
The margin between second and third place was razor-thin, but theTelegraph stood out as a clear winner. A simple yet engaging design allowsthe staff ’s excellent writing to take center stage. The staff appears to have
a firm commitment to watchdog journalism that serves their readers well.Aside from the jaw-dropping and ongoing tale of the city official accused
of stealing more than $50 million from the city, staff members consistentlyturn their attention to important issues affecting the lives of Sauk Valleyresidents. The paper is thinner than most of the other entrants, but it is
jammed with great content. In an age when local features content is growingrarer all the time, Telegraph readers have several local offerings, including a
chance to contribute their own cooking feature. Very impressive effort.
True to our company’s Brand Promise, the Telegraph and Daily Gazetteare committed to advocating for the community in many ways, amongthem aggressive watchdog journalism, responsible editorial opinion,and responsive local coverage.
Or, as the judges simply described it, serving readers well. That’s our job.
