“Water is the driving force of all nature” — Leonardo Da Vinci. Rain is the only natural source to get enough water for all living beings to thrive. But 35% of the water is going waste every day. How would you stop that? Rainwater harvesting is a useful and effective way of storing rainwater for domestic usage at home. Have you all thought about how it would help you? If you have, let’s find out the answer below.
Rainwater harvesting reduces floods
As everyone knows, a sudden downpour in Chennai city results in floods. Setting up a rainwater harvesting system in each home stops from water stagnation and floods. Not only this, but you could also use fresh water every day. Generally, hard water produces rust and corrosion but rainwater does not. In other words, storing rainwater helps in reducing floods and you could enjoy outdoors during rains. In Chennai, there are villas in OMRin which I live in are designed with rainwater harvesting system to save fresh water.
Saves you from polluted water usage
These days, gated community living is all the rage. Due to this, there comes a sudden demand in supplying water for the entire community. Having rainwater harvesting system for a community saves you at the time when water gets contaminated or if there isn’t any water to use. This is not the only benefit but also reduces water bills. Finally, rainwater is the chief source of water and also is a wise backup source in worst situations like water scarcity.
Stops unwanted environmental damage
After using up all the water sources, there comes a time where you have to dig deeper wells. But digging the ground deeper only causes unwanted environmental hazards. Especially if you are residing where the lands are weaker, then it might not work well during earthquakes. Besides digging in weaker grounds might turn up an invite for earthquakes and unwanted ground shake.
Instead, storing rainwater and using it at times of water scarcity and drought can save you from earthquake damages.
Used for domestic purposes
Other than drinking water and juices, water is mostly used for non-drinking purposes. Right from bathing, washing clothes to doing dishes. Flushing toilets also consume a lot of water if you use the restroom often. Rainwater could be a good remedy for all these. Mostly, hard water is tough to produce foam. So using rainwater to wash clothes can reduce the usage of detergents for doing dishes and washing clothes. Also, rainwater can also be used for taking bath, bathing your pets, washing floors, cleaning stains and all other cleaning purposes.
Rainwater is healthier than other sources of water
Watering the plants with rainwater actually helps in flushing the salt formed in the plants. This improves plantation and a leading way to the healthier environment. Factually, rainwater is pure, clean and contamination-free than the man-made polluted water. Also, rainwater does not contain chlorine which exists in the normal corporation water. Using rainwater for gardening can save you huge sum on property maintenance and landscaping issues.
Encouraging rainwater harvesting in all the areas especially urban areas where there are only buildings are more than greenery. Saving each drop of water can save you in future.
