How Rain Water Tanks Work?

Rain water tanks are real boon to mankind. It is a dual blessing for nature and man as it works to the benefit of both. In a time where we have to preserve every possible resource, rain water tanks do just that. Before considering the size and type of rain water tank let's find out how they work.

Rainfall is collected in water bodies and absorbed by the surface, even with all the development we have made, mankind still depends on rainfall to replenish water supply ever year. Rain fall is erratic - sometimes it is excessive and sometimes extremely scanty. To make sure we can retain as much of the rain water, rain water harvesting has added importance

Rain water tanks play a vital in role in rain water harvesting. A special system is installed in the house depending on a number of factors. When rain falls, special catchment areas of the roof retain the water. The rain water is then transported to the rain water tanks installed above the ground or below through special gutters installed around the roof area. The rain water is collected in the water tank through special pipes and is stored for use around the house.

Water collected in rain water tanks can be used for multiple purposes. You can top up your swimming pool, wash your car and clothes, use it to flush toilets. It is perfect for your garden; you can actually develop your very own garden irrigation system with a suitable filtration system.
