Rain Water Catchment and Diverting

I finished my Rainwater Catchment Project earlier in the season but just got around to putting the video together. I'm still tweaking but I am quite pleased with the results.
I mainly built this setup to divert as much water as possible as my yard can act as a bathtub, due to my poor landscaping choices because of limited options.

I relied heavily on the Rainwater in the early part of the season and end of the season (currently)
Topping off the ponds is less frequent now.



Here is my website with more information.

This is truly and excellent mini-documentary on water catchment and diverting. We have a situation in our backyard (not nearly as serious as yours) where every spring it gets flooded and we have to wait an extra 3 weeks before we can plant in our garden.

Your film has given me a couple of ideas.

Thanks for sharing!
