Rain Harvesting
Rain harvesting is a method where rain water is collected through a process and then later used for bathing, cleaning and gardening. If the right purification system is in place, this harvested water can be used as drinking water. There are many places all over the world that have issues with water. Some places don’t have clean water, while other places don’t have access to water at all. It’s definitely time to think of alternatives even if it means collecting rain off of rooftops.
There are two methods for collecting rain. One involves rooftops and using containers to catch the water. The other involves installing underground storage tanks along the sides of buildings. Both ways enable water to be easily collected. In addition, it’s a cheap way to conserve, and it can be taught to anyone willing to learn. The only issue is ensuring that the water is clean by using purification systems.
