Rainwater harvesting is able to attenuate storm runoff entering the surface water drainage system. This in turn lops off the peak flow experienced in the surface water system which in turn limits the scale of flooding and the total volume of rainfall making its way through the system.Rainwater is also slightly acidic which is what most plants prefer.https://www.freeflush.co.uk/collections/rainwater-harvesting-systems
