GrowNYC has built more than 80 rainwater harvesting systems in New York City community gardens, collecting over a million gallons of rainwater a year from nearby roofs or shade structures, making water collection convenient for gardeners, and reducing demand on the public water supply system. They also help mitigate rainstorm runoff, which can overload storm drains and pollute the waters surrounding the city. Interested in having a system in your community garden? Contact us or read our How-To Guide and build your own!
