Rainwater vs. Stormwater
Rainwater vs. Stormwater
Rainwater and stormwater come from the same place, but they’re managed in different ways. Rainwater is captured directly from rooftops and other clean surfaces, making it easy to reuse and harvest. Stormwater contacts the ground, gathering debris and other contaminants requiring more robust treatment for harvesting and reuse purposes.

Green Infrastructure
As a complementary, alternative system to conventional (or “Gray”) stormwater solutions that mimic natural hydrology, green infrastructure seeks to improve water quality and reduce water quantity by capturing runoff as close to the source as possible (i.e. where the raindrop falls) and infiltrating, filtering, detaining, or otherwise storing the runoff for reuse.
Green Infrastructure Benefits Include:
- Environmental
- Health
- Energy Savings
- Economic Development
- Resiliency

Water Harvesting
The Virginia Department of Health has finalized new regulations on potable rainwater harvesting systems, the 12 VAC 5-635, effective Oct. 21. These regulations establish guidelines for the collection and reuse of rainwater, ensuring systems operate safely and efficiently. The goal is to promote sustainable water practices while protecting public health in Virginia. Compliance with ASSE standards 2110, 21120, and 21130 will be mandatory under the new rules.
