Rainwater utilization systems are designed to store and use rainwater. By storing rainwater during heavy rains and using it as needed, these systems prevent the rapid flow of water into rivers and sewers, thereby reducing flood damage. Large-scale systems require advanced planning due to varying intake locations and intended water uses.
Efficient rainwater use through these systems offers economic benefits for factories, commercial facilities, and households. Additionally, rainwater harvesting contributes to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), addressing water-related issues and promoting a sustainable society.
The regional benefits of installing rainwater utilization systems include potential subsidies from municipalities, with many public buildings already incorporating these systems.
These systems store rainwater to mitigate flooding from heavy rainfall. Stored rainwater can be used for non-potable purposes like domestic wastewater and toilet flushing, saving significant water in facilities with high usage. While not generally recommended for drinking or bodily contact, systems equipped with ozone or chlorine treatment can render rainwater potable.
Stored rainwater can also be used for agricultural irrigation during prolonged dry periods or for road sprinkling to utilize the evapotranspiration effect in summer. In disasters like earthquakes, these systems provide a vital emergency water source.
Typically installed by contractors, the systems can range from simple rooftop storage tanks connected to gutters, supplemented by pressurized pumps for toilet plumbing, to large underground storage tanks for more extensive applications.
Large systems often require significant storage capacity, with rainwater first filtered to remove debris before storage. Some systems are used for fire protection or rooftop gardens, with pumps connecting the stored water to facility plumbing. Disinfection equipment may be installed for hand-washing and other uses.
Regular maintenance is essential to prevent clogs from debris and mud. This includes cleaning filters, screens, and tank interiors. Maintenance frequency depends on the specific system and environmental conditions. Stagnant water can lead to bacterial growth, so it's advisable to circulate and use the stored water regularly.
While individual homeowners can usually maintain smaller systems, larger installations typically require professional contractor services. For large-scale systems, reservoirs and other large storage facilities may need specialized maintenance.
