Our objectives

Our Vision

  • To significantly reduce the UK’s consumption of our increasingly scarce drinking water supplies by saving and re-using rainwater
  • To ensure sustainable use  of the UK’s water resources by encouraging a greater sense of personal responsibility for every day water conservation.
  • Save the Rain will campaign for:
    • Changes in the building regulation and planning laws to make rainwater harvesting compulsory in all new  buildings within three years.
    • Significant use of Rainwater Harvesting on fast-track new  developments being planned in the South East.
    • Availability of grants for homeowners to install a rainwater harvesting system in existing properties.

Save the Rain™ will:

  • Work with UK national governments and agencies to achieve necessary changes in legislation and changes in guidance on water saving measures.
  • Recruit public support to the campaign through a campaign website.

Save the Rain™ will provide a central resource of:

  • Advice on how to save water in homes and offices, thereby reducing the overall demand on drinking water supplies
  • Detailed and accurate information on rainwater harvesting systems, their benefits, suitability and correct installation.
