Deforestation
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
Consequences of Deforestation on Water
