Its really fun when it rains when you are a catcher. I used to work on a tomato/microgreens farm. We caught all the water off his home, the 3,000 square foot greenhouse, outbuildings and everything. When it was raining it was a fun hustle to run to all the various totes and bins and start all the pumps to the main reservoirs when they started to get too full! Working with nature for sure!
We didn't bring a water truck in all summer and fall that year, it was a blessing to get that much water from the high desert skies! Pretty good as just the greenhouse had 2 1600 gallon tanks under it that we alternated between. One was irrigating and the other was filling. Big, non-tainting catch surfaces, and a nice storage tank are the norm.
