In today’s world, distribution of water is the new monopoly for countries. Thus, most people solely depend on the Government for water, resulting in decreased contribution of the public. It also leads to disrespect of the old method of water conservation. A recent survey has shown that people assume the world has abundant water and thus, waste it without feeling concerned about the needs of future generations.


It is a fact that there will be a time when most of the countries in the world will face water crisis, with the way that things are right now. This is why some of the legal bodies in various countries are concerned about water management. As per the climatic conditions in different parts of the earth, various scientific instruments and technologies have been introduced. One of them is the rainwater harvesting.


So, let’s take a closer look at the method of harvesting water from the rain.


What is Rain Water Harvesting?
Specialists of water treatment systems define rain water harvesting as a safe, smart and the most efficient way of collecting natural water. It is the best alternative resource of water in case of drought. It can also reduce erosion of soil and help protect low lying areas from flood.
By capturing rain water directly, you can significantly reduce your dependability on water storage dams. Collecting and harvesting your own water can also reduce your bills related to water.


Techniques of Rain Water Harvesting
Before you start, you must determine whether or not you are located in a place that is suitable for rain water harvesting. You should be in an area which receives ample quantity of rain water. After you are done you should install a rain water collection system. This can be made easier if you hire water treatment professionals in Cork, who can provide the best collecting mechanism, which is generally a trough installed at the end of the roof.
Rain water is collected directly from the roof gutters to a storage tank. The roof should be slanting so that the water naturally flows into the drainage lines. For the purification purpose, water treatment professionals use their best filters with layers of screens and meshes. However, the filters need to be checked regularly to prevent blockage from contaminants.


Apart from the storage tanks, you can also use rain water cisterns which is installed under the ground. In such storage systems, you must have an additional pump installed by the water treatment professionals to lift the water during usage.
