Storage of roof-top Rain water for drinking




Rain water falling on the roof top can be used for drinking if it is captured in a closed tank. This is particularly useful in locations where drinking water is scarce. The first flush of rain water is allowed to drain out. Once the roof top is cleaned, subsequent rain fall can be stored in a water tank.
The tank is built on an elevated platform. With the help of a frame and using chicken mesh, weld mesh, cement and sand the tank can be constructed. This is known as ferro-cement tank. Application of liquid chlorine or tablets is recommended before drinking the stored water.
