Rainwater Harvesting
Rainwater harvesting is a sustainable and eco-friendly technique for collecting, storing, and utilizing rainwater that falls on rooftops, surfaces, or even the ground. This harvested rainwater can be used for various purposes, reducing the demand for traditional water sources and promoting water conservation. Rainwater is typically collected from rooftops, which act as catchment surfaces. The rainwater flows down the roof and is directed towards gutters and downspouts. Before the rainwater is stored, it should undergo some form of filtration to remove debris, leaves, and other contaminants. This can be achieved through simple mesh screens or more advanced filtration systems. Rainwater harvesting involves a series of steps to collect, filter, store, and use rainwater effectively. Identify the catchment surface, which is usually the area where rainwater falls and can be collected.
