The collection and storage of rain water for later
productive use is defined as rainwater harvesting. It is
simply collecting, storing and purifying the naturally
soft and pure rainfall that falls upon your roof.

WHAT WE DID IN THIS PROJECT :

In this project we prepared an water harvesting
illustration by using of thermocool sheets . We learned
about the following…

 Why harvest rainwater?

 Methods of water harvesting
 How to harvest the rain.
 Benefits of rainwater harvesting

Today, scarcity of good quality water has become a major
cause of concern. However rain water which is pure and of
good quality is lost as run off.

The six basic components of a Rain Water Harvesting
system include:

 Catchment: roof surface to collect the rain
 Conveyance: channels or pipes from roof or
catchment area to storage
 Roof washing: ‘first flush’ diverter system to filter
and remove contaminants
 Storage: cisterns or tanks where collected
rainwater is securely stored – i.e. insect proof
 Purification: includes filtration, ozone or UV light
to purify the collected rainwater for potable use
 Distribution: system that delivers the rainwater,
usually including a small pump and pressure tank
