How Modular Rain Water Harvesting Is Beneficial For Cities

Almost ninety-eight percent of water on Earth is not fit for direct consumption.
But through natural process of rainwater harvesting the same water becomes fit for our use.
The subsoil level hides large natural underwater containers.
In popular language we call such natural containers as lakes, aquifers and well.
These natural water containers are rich in fresh water that supports human life on earth.
We have rivers that are greatest source of fresh water on earth and originate from glaciers, which are not a subsoil structure; however, even these glaciers are a product of the same natural process of rainwater harvesting.
The aforementioned narrative might look fractured but looking closely towards the Nature, we realize similar subtle phenomenons which largely go unnoticed.
Oceans and Seas that have saline water; however when the same water, in form of rain falls on the surface of Earth it is no more saline.
The rain water then seeps in through the outer surface of the soil and gets collected within a container of non-permeable rock structure after being filtered through layers of permeable rocks.
Similarly, the artificial rain water harvesting unit also works when appropriately installed for a given residential or commercial structure.
These units have various sections for dedicated tasks such as collection of rain & storm water, guiding the collected water towards various filters and finally collecting water in tanks for reuse.
Traditional rainwater harvesting units lacked the flexibility that is available with modular models.
These latest units are highly scalable and constrains or lack of large open space does not pose any threat to viability of these units.
As a matter of fact, the latest modular rain water harvesting units are considered best for urban area that suffers availability of wide open spaces at the sites where these units are to be installed.
Further, not only these units are highly scalable and fit in cramped space of urban area, but these water harvesting units can also store almost unlimited amount of water.
In comparison to the traditional units this is a great benefit as the traditional unit storage was quite limited and enhancing its capacity costs a fortune.
Additionally, the modular units can be easily installed below the soil level and thus does not eat away open space.
The modular rain water harvesting units have their storage tanks below the soil level and thus you do not need to think about the pressure over the building structure that evidently comes when the rainwater along with the unit installed and stored in overhead roof tanks.
Moreover, these units do not interfere with the look of the property whereas the traditional units interfere with the look of the property and sometime may look like a nuisance.
All these and several other factors where the modular units score better over the traditional units also make modular rain water harvesting units best for urban spaces.
