Only 1% of the world’s water is actually usable by humans, and with the climate changing around us all the time, our access to such clean, usable water is changing too. With droughts in seasons when rain was once plentiful occurring in all across the world, the chances that water will one day be in short supply are rather large.
By using rainwater systems to collect and harvest rainwater, individuals could well find that they are in a far better position should such issues arise. Not only can such water be filtered and used for cooking and washing, but the same water can also be used to keep gardens fertile all year round.
In fact, the use of tap water in gardens can actually be harmful, with excess sodium being extremely damaging to plants. Therefore, those who rely on growing their own food or indeed growing food to sell on will benefit greatly by storing rainwater to utilise in the event of a drought.
However, as climates change, storing rainwater through the use of rainwater goods is likely to be a necessity for the majority of people and the sooner that such systems are put in place, the more likely people are to reap the benefits. With extensive filtering, rainwater can even be used as drinking water and if the warming of the planet leads to long periods of drought in the future, those who have harvested rainwater will fare the best.
Whether climate change leads to serious droughts in the future or even simply to longer hosepipe bans, harvesting rainwater is likely to be useful to companies and individuals alike, and not only ensure that they can get access to the water they need, whenever they need it, but also that they may well save a huge amount of money and avoid the structural damage than can be caused by heavy rainfall at the very same time.
