A Rainwater Harvesting System is a viable technology even in an urban setting.
All that is necessary to take advantage of this natural resource is to capture the free water falling on your roof and direct it to a rainwater storage tank.
With a Rainwater Harvesting System you can take control of your water supply and replace a substantial portion of your water needs.
Rainwater Harvesting is important because Climate Change is disrupting weather patterns, leading to extreme weather events, unpredictable water availability, exacerbating water scarcity and contaminating water supplies.
As a result, the quantity and quality of water that we need to live will be affected.
In addition, global warming is causing sea level to rise and fresh water to become salty, committing the water resources people rely on. And Portugal is among the 44 countries that deplete at least 40% of their water reserves and consequently is at high risk of water scarcity.
So to achieve the path to sustainability, we all need a strategy. Everyone has a role to play, and we cannot afford to wait.
Essentially you can use rainwater anywhere you use tap water. The idea of using drinking water to flush our toilets, wash our cars and water our garden is wasteful and irresponsible.
Climate Change is happening. We must act now, and Rainwater Harvesting is part of the solution.
