Rainwater Harvesting System and Component Specification Sections Per CSI:

CSI Section 33 10 05: Rainwater Harvesting Systems and Components

Rainwater harvesting is the practice of collecting and using rainwater, most commonly from roofs. Use of collected rainwater can provide building owners with high-quality soft water for irrigation and potable uses, reduce pressure on water-treatment plants, and reduce stormwater runoff and flooding. To use as potable water, filtration and purification are necessary. (See also 07 71 23 - Gutters and Downspouts & 22 32 00 - Domestic Water Filtration Equipment)

CSI Section 07 71 23: Gutters and Downspouts

Products that are effective at directing rainwater away from foundations increase building durability.

CSI Section 22 32 00: Domestic Water Filtration Equipment

Products included here are used to purify water. Such systems can help to ensure high-quality drinking water. Some are also key components of rainwater harvesting systems.

Rainwater Harvesting Products could also be specified under CSI Sections:

44 4300 - Water Filtering Equipment

33 1600 - Water Utility Storage Tanks

The Federal Green Construction Guide for specifiers on the WBDG website shows rainwater harvesting system and component specifications in Section 33 1620, Rainwater Harvesting.
