Water conservation is a very critical issue for the people living in Australia. It is a good idea to collect rainwater and use it for watering landscape in irrigation and agricultural practices. A lot of potable drinking water can be saved by using rainwater for irrigation. Rainwater is also considered good for watering plants as it is free of any kind of chemicals. With the help of rainwater collection system one can store huge volumes of water that would be sufficient to carry out all kind of irrigation related job through out the dry spell. Thus the need of potable water for the purpose of irrigation can be completely eliminated by implementing rainwater harvesting systems for irrigation.
Where the land is hard, the rainwater does not get absorbed easily, thus rain gardens can be made so that the runoff water on the hard surface can be diverted towards this low lying area and can then infiltrate into the soil. By using rainwater for irrigation one would notice a great reduction in the volume of storm water that moves offsite. By applying storm water back to the soil the groundwater level will get recharged.
Rainwater harvesting system for irrigation consists of huge collection area which is generally hard surface land; the water from the collection area is then transported towards the storage reservoir with the help of piping systems and channels. The reservoir can be any thing a pond or a storage tank. The storage tanks can be installed above or under the ground. Before moving the water towards the storage tank all kind of sediments are removed. Since the rainwater will be used for irrigation the material of rainwater tank is not of much importance but the tank should be strong enough to hold tons of water.
We are all aware of scarcity of water in Australia. As we all know water is the most valued natural resource on this planet and it important to conserve water. Rainwater collection is an ideal way of conservation of water. The rainwater is good for plants, the concept of rainwater collection is environmental friendly and economical. By using rainwater for irrigation we are not only conserving water but also saving a lot of money without compromising with the quality of crops.
