Rainwater harvesting reduces stress on surface waters and groundwater by providing an alternative water source for human uses, and it mitigates high urban runoff volumes. If rainwater were harvested on a massive scale it could conceivably alter the natural hydrology of a watershed, but at currently feasible levels of adoption rainwater harvesting is beneficial to water supplies and natural systems.
