Water harvesting

Water harvesting

 

Water harvesting is just one more way to conserve precious resources that can be done virtually anywhere you may be. The process of water harvesting is simple. You simple set up a rain water tank or any number of other types of water tanks, and capture rainwater. The water tank is used for capturing as well as storing the water that you harvest. This is an excellent way to provide supplemental water for city requirements, increase soil moisture levels around your home, whether you need it in a garden or on your lawn, and to mitigate urban flooding. Rainwater harvesting is used widely in many areas to add to the existing water supply and provide relief during drought seasons. Water harvesting methods have been used to provide drinking water, domestic water, water for livestock and pets, small irrigation and to replenish the ground water levels. The method of capturing water through a rain water tank has proven to be very successful and is highly recommended as a means of being more cost efficient. Consumer water bills, like most everything else, have risen substantially over the past few years. By harvesting your own water you give yourself the opportunity to add to your current water supply and replace much of your water use with a method that has a zero cost ratio. 
Technically speaking harvesting water using a water tank is a simple setup. You just need to find and/or purchase the required water tank and set it where you can capture rain water as it falls. Many consumers who live in larger cities, particularly those in apartment complexes, use water tanks on their roofs to capture rain water that they can then use in whichever means they need or want. If you are set on lowering your water bill or simply want to help with making the world “green”, then setting up and using a water harvesting system is an excellent place to begin.
