Rainwater Harvesting Introduction It was very difficult to imagine few decades before that you will require to buy drinking. The use value of water was never undermined‚ but it’s about time that even its exchange value is given due importance. Fresh water today is a scarce resource‚ and it is being felt the world over. More than 2000 million people would live under conditions of high water stress by the year 2050‚ according to the UNEP (United Nations Environment Programme)‚ which warns water could

Rain Water Harvesting: A Solution To Water Crisis Water is an essential resource. No one can live and survive without water. Hence‚ we should not let the source of the life waste‚ instead we must store it. We can do so by the methods of Rainwater Harvesting. Rainwater Harvesting refers to the process of collecting and storing of rainwater. Rainwater harvesting helps in providing drinking water‚ water for irrigation‚ agricultural purposes or for groundwater recharge. It is one of the best solutions

------------------------------------------------- Rainwater harvesting From Wikipedia‚ the free encyclopedia Rainwater harvesting is the accumulation and storage of rainwater for reuse before it reaches the aquifer. Uses include water for garden‚ water for livestock‚ water for irrigation‚ etc. In many places the water collected is just redirected to a deep pit with percolation. The harvested water can be used for drinking water as well if the storage is a tank that can be accessed and cleaned when needed. Rainwater harvesting provides an independent

RAIN WATER HARVESTING Introduction: Till about thirty years back‚ the areas around our homes and offices used to be unpaved and the rain falling on these areas would percolate into the soil and remain there for being drawn through shallow open wells. With the proliferation of flat complexes‚ not only have these areas been paved and percolation of rainwater into the soil almost totally stopped‚ the quantity of water drawn from the soil below has increased manyfold. Consequently open wells and not

RAIN WATER HARVESTING INTRODUCTION 1. Urban centres in India are facing an ironical situation today. On one hand there is the acute water scarcity due to rise in consumption‚ over dependence and over-exploitation of ground water resources. Added to this‚ there is a lack of a coherent and credible water management policy. On the other hand‚ the streets are often flooded during the monsoons‚ giving rise to a situation of ‘water‚ water everywhere‚ and not a drop to drink.’ 2. This shortage
