Benefits of Installing Rainwater and Stormwater Management Systems

Water is a precious resource, and it is important to conserve it for not just meeting the requirements of the present population but also for the future generations. With rising awareness of the need for water conservation, there has also arisen an understanding for the need of rainwater management. Increasingly, people across the board are installing rainwater and stormwater management systems in industrial, commercial, agricultural as well as domestic setups to harness the water that more often than not goes to waste. There are manifold benefits to installing a stormwater or a rainwater management system, which are as follows:

1.Rainwater management systems help to supply water for non-potable purposes, thereby reducing the load on potable water requirements significantly. For instance, in domestic setups, water recycled through rainwater or stormwater management systems can meet as much as 60 per cent of the water required for tasks as washing, cleaning, laundry, toilet flushing, etc.

2.Installing rainwater and stormwater management systems also reduces the load on drainage systems by harvesting the excess water which would otherwise have flown as runoff and become a waste. The harvested rainwater also thereby reduces the chances of flooding by channeling the run-off water into water tanks for recycling and reuse.

3.Rainwater and stormwater management systems also significantly reduce the expenses incurred on the water bill by reducing the dependency on main water for majority of the works which do not require potable water. Especially in agricultural setups, rainwater and stormwater management systems can be of great significance as they can harvest the runoff water to provide ample supply for regular use in irrigation of crops.

4.In flood prone areas and regions which experience heavy rainfall in parts of the year, rainwater management systems can be used to negate the flooding by accumulating the runoff and creating a storage for later use. The runoff can be potentially hazardous, causing soil erosion and flooding, which can be largely mitigated by collecting the water by installing rainwater management systems.

5.Another financial advantage of installing rainwater and stormwater management systems is that they do not require much initial investment since the water does not need to be purified by expensive machines for reuse. Since the water is not used for drinking purposes, the installation and maintenance of these systems is extremely low.
