We have gutters on both house and carport so when it does rain, we collect a lot of water. Hoping for more soon for everyone's sake.
Definitely everybody should be paying attention to their gutters. I got up on the ladder a few weeks ago and was very surprised how clogged the downspout screens were. I cleaned them all out so if we get a thunderstorm we'll have less water overflowing the gutters and going into the tank.
Even a little bit of junk in the gutters will result in less water harvesting (and gross water harvesting) even if using screens.
