Controlling Water Consumption

Water collection technics

Index

  • Rooftop Collection: Collecting rainwater from rooftops and storing it in tanks.
  • Surface Runoff Harvesting: Capturing and storing runoff from surfaces like roads and fields.
  • Percolation Pits: Digging pits to allow water to percolate into the ground, recharging groundwater.
1. Rainwater Harvesting:

+ INFO

Water collection technics

  • Small dams built across streams to slow down water flow and increase groundwater recharge.
3. Check Dams
  • Using mesh nets to capture water droplets from fog, which then trickle down into containers.
2. Fog Harvesting

+ INFO

Water collection technics

  • Taking shorter showers and turning off the tap while brushing teeth.
  • Using a broom instead of a hose to clean driveways
2. Behavioural Changes:
  • Installing low-flow toilets, showerheads, and faucets to reduce water usage.
1. Efficient Fixtures:

+ INFO

Controlling Water Consumption

  • Regularly checking for and fixing leaks in plumbing to prevent water wastage.
3. Leak Detection and Repair:

Controlling Water Consumption

  • Trees play a crucial role in the water cycle by absorbing and releasing water through transpiration. Deforestation reduces this process, leading to decreased rainfall and increased droughts.
1. Disruption of the Water Cycle:

+ INFO

Consequences of Deforestation on Water

  • Soil erosion from deforested areas can carry pollutants into water bodies, degrading water quality.
3. Water Pollution:
  • Without trees to anchor the soil, rainwater runs off more quickly, causing soil erosion and reducing the infiltration of water into the ground.
2. Increased Runoff and Soil Erosion:

+ INFO
