How to harvest rainwater?

In order to harvest rainwater one should install a set up which is able to collect the rain water, transport it to the rainwater storage tanks and then pump the stored water through the pipes so that it is available where it is required. The set up is simple but the size and quality of the components is decided by the purpose with which rainwater harvesting system in installed. Each and every component of the rainwater storage system contributes to the quality of the water stored.

The first component of a rainwater harvesting system is the catchment area that is used to collect water. Rainwater is captured and transported through gutters and pipes to the rainwater storage tanks. One must ensure that the catchment area is made of materials that are absolutely safe for water collection. For example, one should avoid using painted rooftops for collecting water as the paints can contaminate the water thereby making is unsafe for drinking and irrigation. Similarly, the gutters and pipes that are used for transporting water should be kept clean, so that the water is not contaminated.

 The rainwater storage tank is used to store rainwater till the time it is further required. These tanks are available in various sizes. The rainwater tanks are also available in different materials.
It all depends on the need of the owner. For what purpose one wants to install a rainwater tank and how much water is required to be stored are some of the deciding factors for the quality and size of rainwater tank that will be used in the rainwater harvesting system.

 Again depending upon the owner’s requirement the rainwater storage system can be installed above or below the ground. If one has sufficient space to accommodate a rainwater tank above the ground, well and good else the tank can also be installed under the ground. The maintenance of rainwater tank becomes easy if it is installed above the ground plus it costs less than installation of underground rainwater storage tanks. However the underground water storage saves a lot of space maintains water at low temperature and has its own set of advantages. Usually a pumping mechanism is also required to pump water from the tank to the pipes so that it is available for use. Once the rainwater level goes low in the rainwater storage tank, one can switch to the mains supply by switching off the pump. Rainwater harvesting setup is simple but it is best to consult professional for selection and implementation of right components.
