HI FRIENDS IN THIS POST I WILL SHARE ABOUT RAIN WATER HARVESTING
Now a day we are in a stage of
buying drinking water from other states and from some grocery shops. Agriculture
is also suffering due to lack of ground water. This has happened due to the
wastage of water and no proper awareness to the people on usage of water over
the years. If the situation continues like this there is every chance of wars
between countries for water sources. Now it is the responsibility of every individual
to save water for future generations. This needs some stringent steps to be
taken for making rain water harvesting as a part of our lifestyle.
Rain
is a wonderful blessing given by nature. If we utilize it properly then we can
solve this problem to some extent.
There are some techniques to
save rain water. They are
1) Constructing Check Dams on hill tops
2) Using Tanks To Save Rain Water
3) Constructing Ground Water Pith's
Etc...
4)
Surface
Runoff Harvesting
5)
Roof
Top Rain Water Harvesting
These are some techniques I know to conserve rain water .
RAIN WATER HARVESTING
Rainwater harvesting is the accumulation and deposition of rainwater for
reuse on-site, rather than allowing it to run off. Rain water can be collected
from rivers or roofs, and in many places the water collected is redirected to a
deep pit (well, shaft or borehole) a reservoir with percolation, or collected
from dew or fog with nets or other tools. Its uses include water for gardens, livestock,
irrigation, domestic use with proper treatment, and indoor heating for houses
etc. The harvested water can also be used as drinking water, longer-term
storage and for other purposes such as ground water recharge
ADVANTAGES OF RAIN WATER HARVESTING.
Rainwater
harvesting provides an independent water supply during regional water
restrictions and in developed countries is often used to supplement the main
supply. It provides water when there is a drought, can help mitigate flooding
of low-lying areas, and reduces demand on wells which may enable groundwater
levels to be sustained. It also helps in the availability of potable water as
rainwater is substantially free of salinity and other salts. Application of
rainwater harvesting in urban water system provides a substantial benefit for
both water supply and waste water subsystems by reducing the need for clean
water in water distribution system, less generated storm water in sewer system as
well as a reduction in storm water runoff polluting freshwater bodies.
There has been a large body of work focused on the development of Life Cycle
Assessment and Life Cycle Costing methodologies to assess the level of
environmental impacts and money that can be saved by implementing rainwater
harvesting systems.
SO THESE ARE THE ADVANTAGES AND USES OF RAIN WATER HARVESTING.
