Water Conservation and Management, through competent Water Storage and Rainwater Harvesting
Why should you economize water?
The bitter bottom line is that less than 1% of all the water on Earth is fit for people, the remainder are found in the oceans, or in ice pack formations. All this is salt water and would demand many added resources to filter and desalinate, making the whole development a non viable substitute.
The population grew from 6 billion people in 1999 to 7 billion people in 2011, that is 1 billion extra people to share this finite resource. That is 1 billion people to feed, and so greater farms are demanded to avail this exponential expansion, and further water to cultivate all these crops.
How can I establish that I am helping to save this treasurable resource?
Opportunely the heavens produce rain, in several places more than others, however this rain water helps to refresh our natural resources, therefore I have directly found that rainwater harvesting can not only play a vast duty in my “heal the world” part for society, but also maintain some hard earned cash for me..
I have 2 polyethylene water depository tanks at my house, the water collected in these water storage tanks is used for my daily requirements, and in helping me water my garden and top up my swimming pool.
I am now looking into plumbing the water through to my geysers, toilets, washing machine, and dishwasher, and if my calculations are exact I should quarter my civic water usage.
Can I do more to facilitate on a higher scale?
I have constantly believed that there is effectiveness in numbers, and I do not assume that it would be an impracticable dream to request the governments of the world to assist local farmers in the purchase of larger water tanks for their crops and fields. If possible look into not only rainwater harvesting but also storm-water harvesting to cushion the blow that is caused by the agriculture and farming industries of the world.
I understand that this will not be closely enough to help the complete difficulty however it is at least something and could potentially save millions of kilo litres of water each year if it were suitably established by our governments.
How can I go about getting added advice?
Well an elementary internet search on water conservation will turn up authentication on the subject, I feel that the news is very reduced, asking you to turn off your tap when brushing your teeth, or bath in less water, or shower for only 1 minute and get water saving shower heads. Even if you maintain to all these direction(s) you could potentially notice a 10% drop in water usage, and I do not think that is almost enough for a natural resource and asset that each and every human requires as a basic life giving essentiality.
With the ratio of global warming, and the consideration that we as mere mortals have no control over how much rain we get, where we get it and when we will get it. I have to say that I would realize that the general population would try a little harder to save water.
Use water storage tanks for rainwater harvesting for the most valuable way of saving water, or of course you could drill your own well, but please keep in mind that this formation is firstly enormously expensive, and secondly that if you advise your local municipality of this they will meter your well and charge you duly, as they are of the belief that water under the ground inside the confines of their border also belongs to them.
Clarification of rainwater harvesting.
Rainwater harvesting is the gathering or amassing and storing, of rainwater. It has been used to implement drinking water, water for livestock, water for irrigation or to refill aquifers in a course called groundwater recharge.
Rainwater obtained from the roofs of houses, tents and local institutions, can make an influential addition to the obtainability of drinking water. Water collected from the ground, frequently from areas which are particularly prepared for this benefit, is called storm-water harvesting. In some cases, rainwater may be the only possible, or reasonable water source.
When you make the declaration to conserve the Earth’s resources, you will want to look for the correct equipment, there are many water management and rainwater harvesting systems available, my favored water storage tank supplier is SBS Water Systems, visit their website for information.
