As the Rig Veda’s famous Nadistuti Sukta described water as Life bestowing, life nurturing and life protecting ! It’s time to be sensible to the nature’s free gift for the sustainable future of our Planet. Among major sources of water; RAIN is purest form of water available; but unfortunately we don’t consider it as a resource and letting it drain down every year; and then become dependent upon tankers during summer ?
It is easy to build a simple Rain Water Harvesting system to boost decentralized water conservation at point of usage. Rainwater harvesting systems are simple to install and maintain. Even lay man can do it with little bit of plumbing work or with the help of a local plumber. Rain water harvesting is convenient in the sense that it provides water at the point of consumption, and family members have full control of their own systems, which greatly reduces operation and maintenance problems. Running cost is negligible. Water collected from roof catchments usually is of acceptable quality for domestic purposes. As it is collected using existing structures not specially constructed for the purpose. Although regional or other local factors can modify the local climatic conditions, rainwater can be a continuous source of water supply for both the rural and poor. Depending upon household capacity and needs, both the water collection and storage capacity may be increased as needed within the available catchment area. Or the option of well recharge be explored to raise the ground level.
