Rainwater Harvesting Systems (SCALL)

Rainwater harvesting systems (SCALL, acronym in Spanish for system described here) allow for the collection of rainwater from roofs (private or community buildings) through gutters and pipes that channel it to a tank or cistern, passing through a filter (and other treatments depending on the intended end use) that cleans and makes the water available for private or community consumption. The system can also strengthen the community through collective water management for agricultural production, livestock/animals, and hygiene.
