2. Rainwater catchment
What does it mean to catch rainwater?
Rainwater harvesting is the accumulation
and deposition of rainwater for reuse
before it reaches the aquifer. Uses include
water for garden, water for livestock, water
for irrigation, etc. In many places the water
collected is just redirected to a deep pit
with percolation.

4. How CCAT’s System Works
CCAT House is located on HSU campus
Its focus is to alter the way we think and use
appropriate technology

5. At First Glance
• We found the system to be standing in
good working order. The first thing you
come across when you approach the site
is the bright Rainwater catchment
explanation board. It is important for the
system to have this example and
explanation of how this system works and
how the water is used so the community
can understand the importance of
rainwater catchment

9. What is the potential for rainwater
catchment?

10. What does CCAT use their
rainwater for?

11. Metal sheet roofing all around the
house

22. The water flows through above the
driveway and into this 1500 gallon
holding tank

28. Weakness’s that were brewing
