TL;DR: Water harvesting is a means of supplying stockwater in any area where precipitation is sufficient to grow forage and Costs of water collected from various treatments range from less than $0.20 per 1,000 gallons to over $6.00 per 1-000 gallons in a 20-inch precipitation zone.
Abstract: Highlight: Water harvesting is a means of supplying stockwater in any area where precipitation is sufficient to grow forage. There are many types of methods and materials which can be used to collect precipitation. Knowledge of the advantages and disadvantages of each treatment is needed to select the method best suited for a given site. Costs of water collected from various treatments range from less than $0.20 per 1,000 gallons to over $6.00 per 1,000 gallons in a 20-inch precipitation zone.

TL;DR: In this article, rainwater is collected from a windscreen by a gutter and fed into a reservoir from where it falls into the windscreen washer reservoir via a replaceable filter and through a non return valve.
Abstract: Rainwater is collected from the windscreen by a gutter and fed into a reservoir from where it falls into the windscreen washer reservoir via a replaceable filter and through a non return valve. The valve closes when the reservoir is pressurised to operate the washers. Alternatively the top up water can be forced into the reservoir by means of a separate pump. A manual or electromagnetic piston type pump is used to pressurise the reservoir.
