Harvest Every Drop
of Desert Rain
Custom rainwater systems designed for the Sonoran climate — capture, store, and use every drop. We design and install active cisterns, passive earthworks, and hybrid solutions that save you money while cooling your home.
Rainwater Harvesting Systems
Whether you're looking for simple earthworks or high-capacity storage, we have a solution tailored for the Sonoran climate.
Active Systems
Gravity-fed or pumped storage tanks (cisterns) that collect water from roofs for later use in irrigation or indoor non-potable needs.
- Large storage capacity
- Pressurized irrigation
- Smart monitoring available
Passive Systems
Earthworks like basins, swales, and berms that slow, spread, and sink rainwater directly into the soil to nourish desert plants.
- Low maintenance
- Natural landscaping
- Soil health improvement
Hybrid Solutions
The ultimate desert solution. Combines cistern storage for dry spells with passive earthworks for immediate landscape hydration.
- Maximum efficiency
- Drought resilience
- Complete water autonomy

Born from the Desert,
Built for Water
Right as Rainwater was founded in 2012 by a team of permaculture designers and water experts who saw a simple truth: the Sonoran Desert receives enough rain to sustain a household — if only we'd learn to catch it.
Desert-First Philosophy
We design every system around the Sonoran monsoon cycle — capturing the summer rains that fall too fast for thirsty soils to absorb, and storing them for the long dry stretches between.
Local Expertise
Our team has lived and worked in the Sonoran Desert for decades. We understand the land, the climate, and the regulations — from Tucson to the Phoenix metro and everywhere between.
Education & Empowerment
We believe informed homeowners make better water stewards. Every project includes a hands-on walkthrough so you understand your system inside and out.
