Hi,
we have a project where the rainwater is captured and used for irrigation. The project team has determined that rainwater harvested from the building´s roof will fully supply all the project´s outdoor water needs. These are some teoretical numbers based on meteorogical and irrigation needs data. The project team decides some possibilities in case of unpredictable extreme drought. The question is - is it possible to connect pipeline of potable water to the rainwater accumulation tank only for cases of unpredictable extreme drought?
Thanks for your help.

Hello,
This sounds like a great idea! Kudos for planning ahead for your alternative water source.
I think it is definitely possible, but make sure to provide a detailed narrative and any necessary documentation on your LEED online form.
