class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Rainwater harvesting is the practice of collecting and storing rainwater. Typically, rainwater harvesting involves the installation of a system that channels rainwater from hard surfaces such as roofs, roads and concrete into tanks, such as water tanks, to be stored for future use. Most rainwater harvesting systems consist of a <strong>collection surface:<\/strong> Roofs, roads and other hard surfaces <strong>A conveyance system:<\/strong> Pipes, gutters, downpipes and drainage holes that convey rainwater to storage tanks <strong>Storage tanks:<\/strong> Containers where collected rainwater is stored <strong>A distribution system:<\/strong> Hoses, pipes and submersible pumps or boosters that allow rainwater to be removed from the storage tank and used elsewhere.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Many_Liters_of_Rainwater_Can_You_Collect_from_a_Roof_Gutter\"><\/span><strong>How Many Liters of Rainwater Can You Collect from a Roof Gutter?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can get support from the Santa\u015f Water Tank sales representative to determine the amount of rainwater you can collect from the gutters of your roof and therefore the most suitable tank size for your needs (you can check the precipitation charts according to the altitude and climatic conditions of your province, district or even village).<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Can_I_Use_a_Rainwater_Tank_for\"><\/span><strong>What Can I Use a Rainwater Tank for?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Rainwater can be used for utility, washing, irrigation and even drinking if properly treated. <strong>As domestic water;<\/strong> irrigation, clothes washing, house cleaning, car washing, filling pools, fountains, for livestock, gardening and landscaping applications <strong>As drinking water; <\/strong>rainwater tanks are used in cooking, drinking, shower\/bathing, dishwashing applications, provided that the water has undergone approved filtration and treatment processes.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_the_Benefits_of_Collecting_Rainwater\"><\/span><strong>What are the Benefits of Collecting Rainwater?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Access to a free natural water source An environmentally friendly practice Renewal of the collected water every time it rains Reducing the use of groundwater and municipal water, thus preventing the depletion of our own resources and the formation of sinkholes as a result of large underground subsidence There are no restrictions on the use of rainwater while municipal water cannot be used due to interruptions. Rainwater harvesting systems are easy to install and maintain Rainwater harvesting systems increase the value of the properties where they are installed as they are an environmentally friendly recycling system.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Buy_a_Rainwater_Tank\"><\/span><strong>Why Buy a Rainwater Tank?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>One of the biggest problems of the world is the decrease in fresh water resources and the danger of serious water scarcity. Water conservation has become a very important issue in all countries today due to the significant increase in population, depletion of resources due to low rainfall as a result of climate changes due to global warming, and unconscious unnecessary water use. Rainwater harvesting and storage is a very efficient, environmentally friendly and cost-effective way of using water responsibly.  <\/p>\n<p>Rainwater is a great source of clean water if you are not connected to the mains or do not have access to well water or underground borehole water. Even if you are connected to the mains, having a rainwater tank still gives you the freedom to use your water when and how you want, while reducing your monthly water costs. <\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_kind_of_roof_do_I_need_to_collect_rainwater\"><\/span><strong>What kind of roof do I need to collect rainwater?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Most roofs, both pitched and flat, are suitable for rainwater harvesting. To install a successful rainwater harvesting system, it is sufficient to install an appropriately sized gutter system on the roof. <\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_You_Drink_Water_from_a_Rainwater_Tank\"><\/span><strong>Can You Drink Water from a Rainwater Tank?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In general, it is advisable to install appropriate filtration systems to ensure that rainwater collected from a roof undergoes proper treatment. You also need to make sure that the material your rainwater tank is made of is suitable for storing drinking water. For this reason, Santa\u015f Water Tanks are one of the safest tanks for drinking water storage as they are food certified.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Many_TonsLiters_Should_a_Rainwater_Tank_Be\"><\/span><strong>How Many Tons\/Liters Should a Rainwater Tank Be?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Rainwater tanks can only be selected by planning correctly in line with your needs and budget. However, considering the lack of water in today&#8217;s conditions, the larger the rainwater tank you buy, the more it will benefit you. <\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_the_Types_of_Rainwater_Tanks\"><\/span><strong>What are the Types of Rainwater Tanks?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Polyethylene water tanks<\/li>\n<li>Polyester water tanks (fiber water tanks)<\/li>\n<li>Modular water tanks<\/li>\n<li>Composite water tanks (GRP water tank \/ GRP water tank)<\/li>\n<li>Inflatable water tanks (flexible water tank)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_much_water_can_be_collected_with_rainwater\"><\/span><strong>How much water can be collected with rainwater?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The volume of water you can collect depends on the size of your collection surface, i.e. roof area (m2), and the amount of rainfall received in your area. An average estimate can be calculated by multiplying your rainfall (mm) by your collection surface area (m2). You can use this rainfall map to find the average rainfall for your region. Of course, the volume of water you can store also directly depends on the size of the water tank. For more information about rainwater tanks according to your needs, please contact Santa\u015f Water Tanks sales representative.  <\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_a_Rainwater_Tank_be_Used_as_a_Fire_Tank\"><\/span><strong>Can a Rainwater Tank be Used as a Fire Tank?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Of course, reserve tanks are fire water tanks in case of need. However, if the equipment is to be connected to a fire sprinkler or hydrant system for extinguishing operations, it must be prepared according to fire line standards. Fire water tanks are prepared with certification by the relevant municipality while obtaining building permit from the fire department, but such procedures are not required in emergency action plans. The type of water tank may vary from region to region, some municipalities accept polyethylene water tanks while others accept modular water tanks.   <\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_should_a_rainwater_tank_be_installed\"><\/span><strong>Where should a rainwater tank be installed?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The best place to install a tank depends on the size and shape of the tank in question. Underground rainwater tanks or above-ground rainwater tanks can be used. The tanks can be used vertically or horizontally. Modular prismatic water tanks cannot be used underground. Considering where the collection surface is located and what the tank will be used for, the closer it is to these two points, the fewer pipes will be needed.   <\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Keep_a_Rainwater_Tank_Clean\"><\/span>How to Keep a Rainwater Tank Clean?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Before the water from the gutters enters the tank, a strainer is installed to allow the leaves to catch the water, this is the basis for keeping the water in your tank clean and free of impurities. even with this system, remember that you need to do more filtration and chlorination etc. before the water in your tank becomes drinkable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rainwater Collection Rainwater harvesting is the practice of collecting and storing rainwater.
