Rainwater Harvesting

Water is the source of life, but too much or too little water will be a threat to life. Can we "save" rainwater to be harvested at a later date? Rain is a boon, but most of us do not realize even throwing away a lot of benefits from the rain, we have felt the impact of global warming. Many sources of clean water is lost, we're having difficulties getting clean water sources. So from now we should be able to utilize existing sources one of which is rain water.

The more dense the population, the need for water to be increasing. Along with that, from time to time the condition of surface soil water decreased. Impact of water table decline is not without problems. Poor quality of water we consume is one result.  For Moreover regions that have a low altitude, such as coastal beaches. Leads to an intrusion (intrusion) of sea water so it will taste brackish ground water because sea water is mixed by having high salt content. Due to the more severe is vanish soil surface (land subsidence) and decrease the carrying capacity of the city. This condition will greatly influence the presence of tall buildings and urban infrastructure.

Ironically, amid the difficulties of abundant rain water is generally allowed to be wasted. Only a handful of people who want to use it. And if the rain water would be used, almost all water needs can be addressed. As for washing, bathing, toilets, watering plants, washing vehicles and others.

Collecting rainwater for uses that would come or temporary diversion of rain water in an effort to prevent water wastage is an important water conservation efforts. How to use rain water may vary from the simple to the complex. All of these require extra effort, but with a little ingenuity, the results obtained will be very important. Here are some ways make use of rainwater:

• Navigate to the Gardens or Vertical Pipe Yard House

Vertical pipes in the house is usually located near waterways, such as water channels in the driveway. Often the rain water just became exiles, delivering chemical waste and toxins before it was in the flow of water or oceans. Changing the vertical pipe flow is one way to conserve rain water. Simple movement of the vertical pipe so that rain water flows directly into the yard of the house or garden can be used to make water.

Because the water percolating through the soil surface, dirt filtered, creating cleaner groundwater. Before draining the water, we must make sure that if the location of final disposal of water can hold large amounts of rain water and dry, and has many trees.

• Water Tank / Water Tank rainwater

Place the rain barrel under vertical pipes to collect rainwater. Barrels are available in various sizes and can be equipped with a tap and hose for easy use. Rainwater can be used for watering plants.

• Reservoir 

Reservoirs are very useful for collecting rain water in large quantities. Reservoirs collect water from water sources such as roof or catchment area. Place soil under or above ground reservoirs are generally able to accommodate more water than the rain barrel. Filtering system would work better with the reservoir. For utilization of rain water to drink required a more rigorous screening system.

• Landscaping

Appropriate landscaping can have a major impact on the conservation of rain water. Straw and compost retain water and prevent erosion. Use the gravel so that rainwater can be absorbed by the soil. If erosion occurs, use of plants, trees, and shrubs to stabilize the soil.
