Rainwater harvesting has been around for a very long time, over the past few years, it has become essential and popular. It plays a vital role in reducing the use of potable water and increasing the reliability of rainwater to recharge the groundwater, by simply directing it to the well or under the ground.
Harvesting rainwater comes with loads of benefits. Apart from providing clean and potable water, RWH also comes with a long list of benefits to the environment.
Rainwater harvesting can reduce stormwater runoff from a property: Rainwater Harvesting is an effective way to limit the environmental damage caused by stormwater runoff. By collecting the vast majority of the water that lands on your roof, rainwater harvesting keeps this water out of stormwater and thus out of waterways. The elimination of runoff can reduce contamination of surface water with pesticides, sediment, metals, and fertilizers. It also reduces soil erosion and flood hazards by collecting rainwater and reducing the flow of stormwater to prevent urban flooding.
Helps stop streambank erosion: In many built-up areas, rainwater is no longer absorbed by vegetation and soil before being slowly discharged into creeks. Instead, the falling rain is directed into stormwater pipes before it’s rapidly channeled into nearby waterways. It can also reduce stormwater runoff by reducing a storm’s peak flow volume in streams, and rivers, thereby reducing the potential for streambank erosion.
Refills groundwater resources: Across the world, groundwater supplies are dwindling as water is taken from these underground reserves and from the waterways that feed them. Not only is this practice unsustainable, but it’s also damaging to the environment. Rainwater harvesting is an important solution to the challenge of groundwater depletion. It offers an alternative water source that takes the pressure off groundwater supplies.
Ideal for landscape irrigation: Since harvested rainwater has no chemicals such as fluoride and chlorine, it is an excellent source of water for plants and landscape irrigation.
Rainwater harvesting systems can be employed as simple and effective methods to meet a municipality’s stormwater management program requirements for individual properties.
