Rain Water Collection Systems for Homes David Simmonds - One Town at a Time
November 27, 2011

Mexico has a very diverse environment, ranging from parched deserts of Sonora to the tropical rain forests of Chiapas.

One thing they have in common is that there are many months when there is no rain at all. Water is an essential, but finite resource.

The Villages of Cabo Corrientes receive roughly 60 inches of rain per year, but the majority of it falls between mid-June through mid-October. During the winter months the residents rely on infrequent water delivery by truck.

Harvesting and storing rainwater provides much-needed water for the community year-round. Just one-inch of rainfall on a 1,000 square foot roof generates 600 gallons of collectible water. The cost to install a system for each house is minimal compared to the many life-enhancing benefits.

Your gift will enable small, rural villages In Mexico to lift themselves from poverty through projects specifically designed to meet their special needs.

Please help these families stay together as they build a self-sustaining life in their communities.

No amount is too small to make a difference.
