Water, the fundamental requirement of any living specie. How is that by even being aware of this, the water bodies are heavily polluted, without considering that this could lead to the endangerment of our own kind?
The wholesome industrialization and urbanization, is leading to bulk of waste being deposited in the rivers and lakes because it is thought that disposing this waste will not trouble them with extra costs for disposing this in a healthier or a sustainable way.This not only pollutes the rivers making it difficult for human forms around the area not be able to drink river water anymore, but it also pollutes the large water bodies like oceans and seas.
These rivers and lakes that the industries pollute with their machine waste, are at some point connected to seas and oceans, and then when these large water bodies are polluted, the aquatic forms get heavily affected. This forms over time get endangered and eventually extinct.
With all these problems humans are causing, how does one make sure that the water we consume is clean and pollutant free?
Water harvesting;
We all know that the rain water is the purest form of water.Water harvesting is basically a practice to conserve and capture all the rain water possible, either from runoffs of rooftops, seasonal flood waters, or local streams.
number of countries have implemented water harvesting, few cities have made it mandatory too.
Chennai being one of them.They did it to avoid ground water depletion.The result of this law was great after 5 years, as the water quality significantly improved.
Various advantages of water harvesting are:
1.Water availability during drought season
Parts of the year without rainfall and no flood, lead to long drought seasons.And the this harvested water could come to use.
2.Independent water source
At times, water is expensive to be able to pay for. Installing a water harvesting system saves this constant spenditure of money and makes it a one time installation thing.
