71% of our planet is covered with water which may seem more than enough to fulfil the required demand, but 97% out of it is in the form of saltwater that we cannot use for drinking purpose. The remaining 3% of the water is cool, but 2% is also blocked by being in the form of glaciers and ice caps. So, technically we have only 1% left. With the rapidly growing population, this 1% of drinking water is not enough. That explains why water conservation is essential. We all are dependent only on the small 1% of the water on the earth. It is our responsibility not to pollute and abuse it. Over growing population leading to over urbanization is putting stress on our finite usable water resources further exploiting it by contaminating it with chemical toxins, sewage, and other wastes. Mismanagement and negligence towards our limited source have led to water scarcity in India and around the world.
Rainwater is the purest form of water we receive from nature directly. It is crucial to saving this form of pure water for the future. Saving rainwater in this form is always efficient as one doesn?t have waste any energy in purifying it. In a country like India, where the distribution of rain is not equal rainwater harvesting will help to replenish the decreasing groundwater level.
The objective of this technology is to conserve existing water and adopt rainwater harvesting to replenish the groundwater rather than wasting it. The conserving water objective is covered when the water tank of the building or house is full the system triggers the motor to cut the flow of it, saving electricity and water by not letting it overflow. The other objective takes place in a traditional rainwater harvesting system when rainwater is collected from the roof of the building or house and filtered and collected in the water storage tank.
Rainwater harvesting can be a small step done by individuals to reuse and save water. And when done on a larger scale it not only fulfils the requirements of the house but also improves the soil quality which reduces the chances of the flood, soil erosion and contamination of surface water with pesticides or fertilizers from rainwater run-off which results in the more transparent lake and ponds.
