HOW MUCH CAN YOU HARVEST?

To find out how much water your roof will collect you first need to calculate the catchment area.

L=total length of your house
W=total width of your house
(L+eaves)x(W+eaves)=Catchment
Example:(36+4)x(46+4)=2000sqft.

-1 inch of rainfall can provide an average of 600 gallons per 1000 sq ft. catchmen tarea.
(Catchment area/1000)x600gallons=total gallons of water collected per1 inch of rainfall
Example:(2000/1000)x600gallons=1200gallons

To find out how much you will collect in a year:
Total gallons of rain water per sq.inch x average rainfall per year in inches=total gallons per year
Example: 1200 gallons of water per sq. inch x 20 inches of rainfall a year=24000gallons
