in the traditional way the rain water is harvested in a Ferro cement tank or plastic tanks. water collected from the rooftop is filtered and then stored in tank. This tank normally will be in the ground level or underground. water is pumped to the overhead tank using a pump when ever required. normally water collect during rainy season and stored for summer.
of course this is a good idea in rain water harvesting. but is there a better way to make it more efficient?
yes.. of course..
most of the houses are using overhead tank on the terrace or on the roof from which water is supplied through pipes. if we analyse the rain water harvesting cycle, first water from the roof flowing down to the tank through the filter unit. this is then pumped back to the overhead tank by a pump.
instead if the water from the rooftop collect first in the overhead tank after filtering.
then the overflowing water can be collected in the underground tank.
the advantage is during rainy season no energy is required for pumping water into the overhead tank.
