Shucks, I thought this was a study showing the effect of rainwater harvesting on landsc aping. Meaning does the landscape water supply get cheated if the water off the roof is not allowed to do directly on the landscape instead of into the rainwater storage tank. I have been told that rainwater harvesting will cheat the groundwater and rivers and lakes. I do not think so, but na sayers need proof. Got any?

What you are saying is that if we save rainwater in storage it will influence process in other water system, simple answer is yes. As all systems are influenced by atmosphere weather so in other words if you store water and make it more available and easier to evaporate than from other resources than you will preserve water in other storages under same weather conditions, that means each weather conditions provide you just some amount of possibility to evaporate the water from your system, so if there is no other artificial extraction from the system just simple natural inflow and out flow storing rainfall water would change processes, never the less if you do not let right amount of rainwater to feed the system than you can create deficit in system as well.
