How to install rainwater harvesting system

Rainwater harvesting system is a system which can help us to harvest  and store the rainwater, which can be used for irrigation, flushing toilets, washing clothes, washing cars, pressure washing, it can also help us to prevent flooding when there's a heavy rain.

The rainwater harvesting system here we talked about is built with soakaway crates, though we can also use other rainwater tank to build it, but soakaway crates has too much more advantage over conventional rainwater tanks. As it is modular, we can build a very very large rainwater harvesting system, and they are built under the ground, so we can still use the space above the ground where the soakaway crates are burried in.

What we need to build a rainwater harvesting system ? We need a set of rainwater pretreatment devices, which make the rainwater clean and clear before the rainwater goes into the tank system, this would help to protect the whole system later. And we need a lot of modular soakaway crates, this is main part of the system. And we need inspection wells, permiable geotextile and /or waterproof geomembrane, if we just want to infiltrate the rainwater into the ground to recharge the underground water then we don't need the geomembrane. We also need some pipes for link up the whole system togather.
