South East Water says collecting rain cuts bills but some farmers say it 'deflects' supply problems.
A water company is encouraging farmers to harvest more rain water in order to help them through future droughts.
But some farmers said the company was "deflecting the problem" onto them, and they would need more incentive to invest.Three vats, each holding 30,000 litres of water, have been set up at Goudhurst, capable of providing enough drinking water for the farm's cattle herd for a month.Image caption,Farmer Vanessa MacNaughton estimates it has cut her usual annual drinking water bill of £5,000 by 20%.
But some farmers who were invited to view the new technology thought there should be more incentives from South East Water for them to install it.
