How to Harvest Rainwater

Rainwater harvesting contributed significantly to conservation of water resources especially in Australia where in many regions recharging of underground water level have also been observed. It’s a known fact that Australia is the driest continent on planet earth but now with the help of rainwater harvesting systems the people manage to conserve millions of tons of water annually.

Rainwater harvesting system has a very simple setup which can be installed easily in any kind of residential, industrial and commercial establishment. Such systems have proved to be quite beneficial for irrigation. The farmers now need not worry about the availability of water for their land. The water is collected during the rainy season and stored till the time there is a requirement. Water is stored in huge volumes and is generally sufficient for lasting the entire spell. With the help of such a system the dependency on the mains supply reduces considerably and so does the monthly water consumption bill.

Rainwater harvesting systems are easy to install. The setup consists of a rainwater collection area which is generally the rooftop; the rooftop is connected to the rainwater storage tanks with the help of gutter and piping system. Whenever there is a requirement the storage tank is connected to the plumbing system. All components of the system should be installed by a licensed plumber. It is very important that all components used in the rainwater harvesting system should be made up of good material that cannot pass on any toxic components to the water. All components should be clean so that the water is not contaminated. The rainwater tank used for water storage should be strong and robust to withstand the water pressure. It should be easy to clean and easy to maintain.

When the rainfalls for the first time it would wash away the dust and other water contaminants like dead insects, dry leaves etc. This water should not get stored in the rainwater tank. Therefore the first few liters of first rainfall should be flushed away before starting off with rainwater collection. It is a good idea to use good quality rainwater accessories that can easily remove all kind of contaminants easily. After getting the system installed one must regularly inspect the system.

While purchasing a rainwater tank do not compromise with the quality. The tank should be robust and should be made of good quality material. It should be absolutely opaque and should also have smooth walls. The tank should not pass bad odor or taste to the water. Most importantly before purchasing a tank ensure that the water will not evaporate or leak under any circumstances.
