‘’Water is life’’ - we all have been taught the importance of water since our childhood. Not only in schools, people from around the globe have taken an initiative to educate and spread the word to save water.
Rain Water Harvesting is one of those methods that would not only save water but act as a huge advantage for you in the days of drought or water shortage faced during summers.
Rain water harveting is a method of storing rain water in containers applying proper means to keep the water fit for any use over a long period of time.
Methods of Rain Water Harvesting :
Rain water harvesting set up can range in complexity from set ups that can be installed with minimal skills to systems that will require technical knowledge and skills. For domestic usage a simple set up should suffice the needs.
Water can be stored in a reservoir on or under the surface. The stored up water is later on taken to places with the help of pipe or tube or
container.
Ponds, canals, big ditches or water-courses, etc. in the country-sides are filled up with the rain-water to replenish the subterranean water-storage subsequently.
Water can be stored in medically treated and carefully built subterranean reservoirs that can be used in emergency.
The main components or basic components of the rain water harvesting systems are :
- Surface Runoff Harvesting : In urban areas water flows away surface run off. This run off can be caught and re-used through appopriate methods.
- Rooftop Rain Water Harvesting : This is the most common and easy method used across the country. This system helps you to catch water where it falls. The water from the roof of the house or buildings are collected in tanks. This method is very effective and low at cost.
Usage of Rain Water Harvesting
- This reserved rainwater can be properly filtered and treated to be used as drinking water.
- This water is stored up in ponds, ditches, canals, etc. in the rural areas for using in everyday household chores as well as in agriculture also.
- The subterranean water in some areas are not drinkable due to it’s high arsenic percentage. To mitigate this problem in those areas, rain-water is conserved carefully to be used as the substitute for drinking water.
