Step Three: using a hacksaw with fine teeth or grinders, cut the drain pipe segment, for installation on the space header.As you can see, to design a system that would commit rainwater harvesting with his own hands, it is not difficult.But that is not all.

Step Four: the system for collecting rainwater for irrigation is not finished yet, but there are very few, and you can now install the collector.
