Did you know you can conserve rainwater without using tanks? This method, known as passive rainwater harvesting, helps water naturally seep into the ground and recharge local aquifers. By incorporating rain gardens and swales, you can not only enhance water retention on your property but also add a beautiful, functional landscape feature to your garden.
