In many areas automatic lawn sprinkler systems are used to water lawns and gardens.These systems use enormous amounts of potable water, a sizable portion of which is not absorbed and used efficiently by plants that the systems water, but rather ends up as runoff.This runoff exits lawns and flower beds through drainage piping and systems that divert the runoff into streets, sewers and eventually oceans, rivers and streams.As water for irrigating and drinking becomes increasingly scarce, systems to conserve and recycle irrigation water become increasingly desirable.It is estimated that 83 trillion gallons of water are used for irrigation each year in the United States alone.If even 3%-5% of this amount could be collected and recycled, the savings would be significant.The present invention addresses this problem.Various water collection systems have been developed by inventors.
