What This Site Covers
The site addresses three broad areas:
- Rainwater collection systems — types, sizing, materials, installation considerations, and maintenance for Canadian conditions
- Regulatory frameworks — provincial and municipal rules governing water collection and use, permit requirements, and health code considerations
- Household conservation — indoor fixture upgrades, outdoor irrigation management, and landscape approaches suited to different Canadian climate zones
Content is updated periodically as regulations change and new technical guidance becomes available from federal, provincial, and municipal authorities.
Editorial Approach
All content on this site is written in an informational, descriptive style. The site does not make policy recommendations or advocate for specific commercial products. Where specific products are mentioned (e.g., fixture types, tank materials), they are referenced for descriptive and comparative purposes only.
Statistics and regulatory details are drawn from publicly available government documents, Statistics Canada publications, and the National Research Council's Codes Canada program. Where information is approximate or subject to local variation, this is noted in the text.
