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.
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.
Filter: This separates dirt/debris. Install this at ground level beside an existng sump. Brands i knw of are RainySSL, Rainmax, Raingain. Im not asociated with any of them, so pls do ur own research here. Price dpnds on capacity, means rooftop area. Buy apprpriate capacity always
Sump: Most apartments have huge underground sumps already, so just reuse it. If you don't have a sump or the sump gets full, dont waste the excess water. Divert it to an unused or spare borewell, this helps recharge ground water.
That is it, so simple.
