Rain Water Harvesting


What is Rain Water Harvesting?

Rain water harvesting is the gathering, or accumulating and storing of rain water.


Objective.

To reduce the usage of water.


How does it work?

The water is collected from the gutter, and will travel down into the filter through a big white pipe. The filter which of course will filter the water and discards the dirt to the drain. The clean water will then go into the big container. The rain water is used at the first four toilets in Block C. Besides that, the water is also used by 'The Toyoto Eco Rangers' to water their herbs using the sprinkler system. There is also another tank that stores the rain water that is located near block E and the mobile classes.


Who are the peoples involved?

The peoples involved in this project for now is the Rain Water Harvesting team led by Puan Nor Hafizah binti Amran. Atlhough, other peoples can also practice this so that we can together reduce the usage of water.


How can I reduce the usage of water?

-Never pour water down the drain when there maybe another use for it such as watering plants and washing cars.

-Place a bucket in the shower to catch excess water and use this to water plants. The same technique can be used when washing dishes or vegetables in the sink.

-Don't let water run while shaving or washing your face. Brush your teeth first while waiting for water to get hot, then wash or shave after filling the basin.

-Avoid flushing the toilet unnecessarily. Dispose of tissues, insects and other similiar waste in the trash rather than in the toilet.

-When washing dishes by hand, fill one sink or basin with soapy water. Quickly rinse under a slow-moving stream from the faucet.
