In these systems, water from the gutters flows down downspouts linked to tanks of water, consolidating the water so that it can be used. People can also collect runoff from hillsides, streets, and other locations, using a variety of systems and setups.

There has been a ton of research into the problem of deforestation; but, this is a wonderful breakthrough. Coupling this with other critical elements like the best vegetation for sustainability gives hope to Africa.
