David;
I have seen numerous rain water collection systems, both in Port and in
rural locations, ranging from gerry-rigged sheet metal funnels to
elaborate systems feeding tanks as large as 15,000 gal. providing water
for a commercial bakery/restaurant in the mountains near Jacmel and for a
school on La Gonave.
They may not be as wide-spread as they could be, but the technology is
certainly in use.
