Rainwater Catchment is a term which describes a way or any system that acts so as to capture and hold rain water for conserving our most important element water. So to put it simply even a rain water tank or a container that makes use of saving and catchment of water may be said as a perfect example of this method. What exactly defines the system could be divided based upon its origin; they can be artificial in nature or completely natural in origin.
So can they be present in nature? We will look as some of the important aspects of rainwater conservation mechanisms and see how easy it's save energy and natural resources that are depleting at a really fast pace. If we look at our history then we will definitely find traces of conservation even then. But now everything has a science background and no thoughts are given for preserving mountains and valleys that has immense capacity to hold water.
Although rainwater tank signify a perfect example of rainwater conservation system but what about other methods back in history that people and civilization used to water their farms during hot and summer seasons is definitely an interesting part to know. So let us see what earlier days of civilization dwelled with conservation of water. In early period there were no huge buildings and monuments instead Mother Nature was enriched with huge valleys and mountains which acted like a huge rainwater catchment area itself. Slowly mankind improved his status of wellbeing and civilization took a major turnaround for economic development resulting in destruction of natural water holders and catchments. In today's date it has remained just a technical conservation system that has holding and collection capability of rain water.
Human have intelligently built artificial maneuvers based on logic and are attempting to make rainwater catchment process possible with rainwater tanks, underground storage barrels, containers etc. A rainwater storage process involves few simple steps. If we take an example of conservation of rainwater from a roof top of a house, it includes the following systems in place. Rain hits the roof area, then there is overhang or gutters, from here the water gets systematically flown and gets directed towards a downside spout. Mostly this is the location where it is a good idea to put up a filtration system. Further after the passage of water through the filter a barrel is fitted where the water gets stored. This forms a complete rainwater harvesting system and any household can follow this and implement it to make a significant contribution in saving huge amount of water.
There are some surface rainwater catchment systems too, which are ideal for people working in fields or farms. Conserving water definitely pays of as water could be tapped and used for irrigation. There are 4 basic required for any kind of rain water tank system implemented at a farm. Thus we see that tapping natural resources in a simple method can benefit mankind in many ways. It's high time that the future generation also learns and understands the gravity of conserving water.
