“Rainwater Revival” that will happen later this year (October 9, 2010). It is a celebration of rainwater collection, conservation and common sense.
The event will include presentations from professionals and end users on rainwater harvesting, tours of systems that are in use, exhibits, vendors, musicians and food/drink. All this will be in a festival like atmosphere in Dripping Springs, Texas at the Roger Hanks Park. A big part of our goal is to further educate and promote rainwater collection in the State of Texas. I am the co-chair for Rainwater Revival and part of the sponsorship & vendor team. The attachments are for you to consider being a sponsor and/or a vendor. Both may apply. We are also looking for public speakers on rainwater collection as it relates to green building design, Leed certification, etc. Please consider this opportunity to participate with your time and resources. There are now many installers, designers and suppliers of rainwater collection systems/products. If you know of others that may be interested in participating as a vendor or would like to simply help sponsor the event, please pass along the information or put them in contact with me. This is for the greater good of water conservation and our environment. If you have any questions, feel free to email me directly or use the address that is on the attached (

What is Rainwater Collection?
Water in its most natural state is called "rain". Gaining in popularity, the practice of harvesting or collecting rainwater has been around for thousands of years. 
From a very simplified approach, rainfall is gathered from a collection area (generally a roof) into a storage unit and used for a nonpotable or potable purpose. Rainwater collection systems range from simple barrels catching rain under a dripping roof to fully automated systems collecting tens of thousands of gallons of rainwater via gutters, piping and pumps. A nonpotable rainwater collection system includes uses such as yard irrigation, gardening, water for livestock, and commercial or industrial usage. A potable household system requires additional filtration and treatment for uses such as drinking, clothes and dish washing, toilets and showers.
With wells going dry, groundwater quality decreasing and overall water usage rising, rainwater harvesting is becoming one of the fastest growing alternatives available for meeting fresh water demands. People are recognizing the benefits of rainwater collection and as a result rainwater harvesting is seeing a resurgence in popularity.
Lakota Water Company has become well-known for installing quality rainwater collection systems. Contact us today to discuss your needs.
