The Tucson Water Rainwater Harvesting Rebate is requires capturing a 1 inch rainfall. Historically, 95% of our storms have dropped 1 inch or less of rain.
As our rains have become more erratic, our storms have also been becoming more intense. Planning for 2.5 inch rain events will allow you to capture as much of what falls in your catchment area as possible and is a way of preparing for shifts in our weather patterns.
