"It’s mediaschmerz—a sadness about the news cycle and news media, which is distinct from the experience of our everyday life. I’m not sure if I think this is good or bad. It simply is. Individual hope and national despair are not contradictions." @DKThomp greeneracresvaluenetwork.wordpress.com/2022/06/02/dai…

As promised, continuing my discussion on #RWH, #rainwaterharvesting. Most queries were on how to get started, so i will start with rooftop rainwater harvesting which can be implemented for any house or apartment.
CONTD..
The mechanism is cheap, and build is fairly complex, but I will make it easy for you. It has 3 parts; collecting rainwater through down pipes, diverting them to the filter chamber and then to a sump or bore. Image
Water Collection: All rooftops mostly already have gutter/ drain exits and down pipes. You just need to point them towards the filter chamber, so some plumbing work needed here.
Tips: Keep rooftop always clean. First rain should always be flushed out.
