Sounds familiar?It’s a problem that won’t wash away in the next shower and if we don’t take steps to conserve water now we will be facing hosepipe bans early summer. The escalating drought situation in Southern England reflects our changing relationship with water and particularly our increasing dependency on a constant supply. On one hand, water has become a valuable commodity. On the other, rainfall patterns have changed, leading to shorter heavier bursts that pose major risks to the drainage infrastructure.
This cycle of extremes is likely to only get worse unless we adopt a sustainable approach to water consumption and management. Rainwater Harvesting is one of the most intelligent solutions to help tackle both these issues.
The Environment and Industry
The Home
The impacts of Water Shortages:
EnvironmentIncreased abstraction from rivers = lower levels= impact on nature
Groundwater droughts triggered by lack of rainwater= longer recharge recovery period.
FarmingLowered soil moisture profile = increased demand onirrigation = higher water use = higher production cost.
Lower harvest = increased food commodity cost
InfrastructureReservoirs reliant on river / groundwater abstraction would be unable to replenish = water shortages in densely populated urban area.
BusinessPotential restrictions in water supply = impacts on production= financial impacts.
WildlifeContracted stream network = associated loss of aquatic habitat inthe upper reaches of groundwater-fed streams and rivers.
