Save water with rain water harvesting

Rain water or storm water harvesting is one of the best ways by which water can be conserved and made worthy of consumption by some treatment plans. Whether your reason for saving water is to aid in domestic use or for commercial and industrial purpose like use in manufacturing units or as a kind of coolant in the production process, you would need water and since the level of water is continuously depleting it is very important to take appropriate steps to conserve it. Although there is a lot of water on the planet that we inhabit, a very small margin of it is viable for daily use. Companies and individuals have to work together to make sure that maximum amount of water is saved so that it can be reused.

Storm water harvesting is one of the most convenient ways by which large quantities of water can be conserved. You would need to set up a conservation plan for this purpose. The setting up of a water harvesting plan is very simple and relatively easy. It would require some initial investment, but the amount of benefits and even monetary gains that you will realize from it would more than compensate for what you have to spend. For this purpose you can either take the help of professionals who would not only evaluate your need but would also help in the construction or you can simply ask a professional to suggest what possible structures for the plant would be suitable for you. For domestic reason an average sized plant would be sufficient and you would not need a chemical treatment plant either. But for commercial purposes you would need a chemical plant and a large water collection structure.

The first thing you need is a large rooftop space where the water can be collected during rainfall. From this collection place the water will be diverted to a reservoir from where it will be sent to a treatment plant. After treatment of the water it can be directed to a storage tank from where it can be used as per requirement. Companies who have adopted this practice of storm water harvesting also look upon it as a corporate social responsibility activity. This is in fact a very good practice and should be encouraged in the business world as much as possible so that more participants emerge for this.
