Rainwater Harvesting and Climate Change

 

Climate change and rainwater harvesting

Global Climate Change is a major problem facing our planet due to the increase in carbon dioxide due to increased use of fossil fuels to drive our energy sources.

As temperatures rise, the water cycle is severely affected. Experts tell us that in all temperatures of 1 ° F, 4% more water will evaporate.

This means that on land and sea where there is water, more water will evaporate as the temperature rises while in desert areas, the temperature rises causing the area to dry out and become very hot.

As more water evaporates from the atmosphere, the atmosphere becomes more saturated and as a result turns into more storms and rain. All of this has led to further floods in some parts of the world and severe droughts in others. These differences in atmospheric pressure are also a result of distorted climate patterns and increasing storms and violent climate.

Water harvesting is a process in which rain is collected and stored for future use and can be used to reduce the impact of climate change. In arid areas, rainwater can be collected to fill local water and to be used for irrigating crops and washing things as well as for human and animal use and firefighting. This can help in a drought-free environment if the practice of harvesting water is done on a large scale.

In wetlands, water harvesting is used for the same purposes but can also be used to reduce water flow and prevent erosion and other damage as well as to relieve pressure on existing water infrastructure. Water harvesting can also help combat increasing evaporation due to the increase in temperature when water is stored and used as needed.

Rainwater harvesting can also contribute to reducing mineral resources. When people build more water, they are less dependent on pumping stations, cleaners and water distribution systems with larger machines and more powerful engines.

Rainwater can be harvested in many ways. One of the most effective ways is to draw water from the roof and then drain it through pipes and pipes and put them in water tanks for storage and later use. One way is to design the area so that the flow of water is reduced enough that it is absorbed into the soil to improve the soil and the surrounding environment. Contours on the ground are usually established for this purpose. This helps to replenish the entire surface with water and allows for the regeneration of germs and plants thereby rich and nutritious soil.

Many regions are investing heavily in all types of water harvesting for these many purposes. This is especially important in areas prone to severe storms or severe droughts.
