Pictured is a large, 100,000 gallon Rainwater Bladder Tank built to collect rainwater at a chicken farm in Alabama. The plan was to reduce the use of municipal water and reduce costs through the use of rainwater collection.
According to the study by Auburn University’s National Poultry Technology Center (NPTC), “If they are using water from a municipal water system, a four-house farm has a water bill that could be as high as $22 thousand annually. That is a direct, out-of-pocket expense to growers.”
Fortunately, the plan worked, and the farmer was able to reduce water costs. To find out more about it, check out the article, “Rainwater Harvesting Could Revolutionize Poultry Industry”.
