Lewes, DE -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/19/2016 -- Report forecast the global rainwater harvesting market to grow at a CAGR of 4.8% during the period 2016-2020.

Rainwater harvesting encompasses the collection and storage of rainwater for agricultural, commercial, and domestic use. The harvested water can be used for groundwater recharge, which is a process to enhance the natural groundwater supply. There are two types of rainwater harvesting, roof-based and land-based. The land based rainwater harvesting type includes water that is saved in ponds, reservoirs, and underground tanks. The roof-based rainwater harvesting type refers to the collection of rainwater from roof surfaces. This method is cleaner compared to the land-based type.

The primary benefit of rainwater harvesting is that it offers financial and resource savings.
Some of the benefits of rainwater harvesting include:
- Quality of rainwater is relatively better than groundwater
- It can reduce storm drainage load and flooding
- These systems are flexible, can be constructed quickly, and are not labor intensive

The report covers the present scenario and the growth prospects of the global rainwater harvesting market for 2016-2020. The report also presents the vendor landscape and a corresponding detailed analysis of the top four vendors operating in the market. The rainwater harvesting system includes storage tanks, filtration units, and technical components such as pumps and controls.

According to the report, inadequate water management and improper re-use of water are cited to be the reasons for the water scarcity. Rainwater harvesting is an affordable solution to overcome such water stress. Also, it could be a vital alternative for a decentralized water source. This alternative water source reduces the use of fresh water from the surface and groundwater sources. The harvested rainwater can be used for agricultural, domestic, and industrial use.

Further, the report states that the rainwater harvesting system is often associated with high installation costs for existing buildings. The cost cannot be generalized as it varies depending on the site and size of the tank. Also, these systems can be used only in the rainy season. This results in decreased demand for rainwater harvesting systems.
