“The response has traditionally involved expanding supplies by more diversions, wells and dams and mining more aquifers. But experts say new water-sourcing approaches are also needed.

One such is rainwater harvesting. The term describes a process where precipitation is captured from a catchment area like a roof and directed to a storage tank or a reservoir. From there, water can be used for irrigation or to supply humans and animals. The technique was used more than 4,000 years ago in Palestine, Greece and ancient Rome, where cisterns captured rain that drained from plazas and rooftops to supplement the city’s supply from aqueducts.

Today, rainwater capture is used across the world. In China, more than 22 million people across 17 provinces have their water supply bolstered by rainwater, according to researchers. In Thailand, a large fraction of the population in rural areas rely on rainwater harvesting for agriculture and drinking purposes. The practice is also popular in India, Mexico, Egypt, Sri Lanka, Australia and Bangladesh.”

Rain Water Harvesting 2021

Rainwater harvesting is a technology that collects rainwater, then stores and purifies it for future use. The practice of this method has been discovered in ancient times, but its benefits and cost-effectiveness have helped many industries and households to use rainwater effectively even in modern times. The rainwater collection process is very simple because it involves collecting rainwater in natural reservoirs or constructed water tanks. Rainwater is usually pure. However, certain particles can challenge the quality of the water. Therefore, it is very important to collect rainwater from an impervious surface and store it in a tank for purification in order to prepare it for final consumption.

Within the framework of a project launched in 2001, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India, adopted rainwater harvesting. This initiative has forced all households in rural areas to install rainwater harvesting systems to avoid depletion of groundwater. After five years of implementation, Chennai water level rose by 5%, and many other states were later persuaded to adopt rainwater harvesting technology to avoid many of the challenges related to water scarcity. From the past few years, it is obvious that many county-level countries are facing the huge challenge of water shortage. Many cities in India have also experienced severe water shortages, causing citizens to pay huge fees for safe drinking water. This shortage will cause many problems, such as depletion of groundwater, disappearance of wetlands, drought, the spread of many deadly diseases, and so on. Therefore, considering that water is a limited resource, we must use it effectively and focus on various water-saving technologies to meet future water standards.

Costa visits a sustainable house and garden, designed to make efficient use of every space. Subscribe 🔔 http://ab.co/GA-subscribe

Mike and his partner bought an unrenovated house on a leafy Mt Colah street 10 years ago. Their garden starts on the verge with edibles, and the front yard is a thriving ‘no dig’ food forest. There’s another obvious sign that there’s something interesting going on here - a community swap stall with seeds, plants and books all enclosed in a big, old red phone box. 

Mike says he’s met more of my neighbours in the last month, than in seven years!

Mike’s aim is to improve livability while caring for the planet. Mike renovated the original house to increase its energy efficiency, with solar water and solar electricity. He’s built a hardwood pergola down the west side of the house which hosts a grapevine that shades the house in summer. It’s the first of many clever structural innovations he has installed in his garden using mostly recycled materials.

Compost System:

The three-bay compost system is built from recycled roof sheets and brick pallets. Liquid from the back of the bays runs and into a well-positioned bucket. Like all the compost, this liquid is then diluted and used on the garden.

Chook House:

The chook house is palatial and has been built using leftovers from the renovation. It’s both vermin and fox proof, and he used the old front door as the human entrance.

Irrigation:

Rainwater is captured across the site, stored and cleverly distributed. Mike has four tanks positioned around the garden that collectively hold 27,000 litres of water. The garden is irrigated via overhead driplines and tank overflows are redirected to garden beds. Storm water from the driveway is redirected into a set of pipes that are re-directed into the garden.

The entire back lawn was dug up to create swales (a series of contoured ditches) designed to slow down water flow and hold it in the soil.

There’s was a rocky outcrop in the backyard where water naturally collected into a pond. Mike has since bricked in the pond, added a bathtub for an outdoor pool for the kids and then found a bathroom basin which he turned into a bird bath.

Wicking Beds:

Mike has made wicking beds from second hand bulk containers. One is used as a liquid fertiliser brewer and the other four have been chopped in half to make 8 wicking beds. The sides of the wicking beds are protected from the sun with recycled zinc aluminium panels take from a roof. The wicking beds are placed in an ‘exclusion zone’, that has been covered with netting to prevent fruit fly, possums and rats making off with the produce.

For Mike, the journey of the garden is infinitely more important than the destination. He’s learnt a lot on the way and is keen to keep learning. It’s inspiring to see what can be achieved in such a short space of time and what will follow, as Mike’s sustainable gardening journey continues to grow.

What I'm Doing in My Garden This Week

I’ve missed having arugula lately. My first planting in the fall was terribly disrupted by moles and I never replanted in the raised bed.

Mole activity has quieted down so ever the optimist I planted more arugula.

This season my mesclun lettuce came in thickly and yielded many shearings. Cool weather with critical rainfall and perhaps my seed selection account for the performance. I’ll definitely plant Monet’s Garden next year. It’s a colorful and flavorful mix of Little Gem, Dutch Redina, Rouge Grenobloise, Red Salad Bowl and Tango.

Planted in mid-October, Monet’s Garden has had a good run. I’ve given bags of it away and added it to our own salads. Now it’s a Thanksgiving feast for the worms in the worm bin.

Anticipating this most recent storm I was dipping water from the rain barrels to deep water permanent edibles (fruit trees, artichokes, rhubarb, berries) and add some to the raised beds. We received 1.1 inches of rain in less than 24 hours which is substantial for our coastal location. This photo shows the rain barrels refilled.

That’s what I’ve accomplished recently but so much more remains to do. Good thing I like to spend time in the garden. It’s hardly work to me.
