Alternative source of potable water

Scientist sought rain as source of potable water

As we all know the limitations of potable water, because of too much wastage and over exploitation we are facing serious water crisis, ground water level is falling down rapidly. In most of the parts people have no water to drink, if they have it that is not potable water. So many individuals and scientists are trying to find out the alternatives of potable water sources.

A Filipino scientist sought rain water as alternative source of potable water through a technology called Innovative Rain Water Harvesting System.
Science and Technology undersecretary Graciano Yumul said a catchment basin will be installed to gather rain water especially during the occurence of storms to save water from wastage or running to the ground.

This will serve as an alternative source of clean water for communities, he said.

The technology, developed by Antonio Mateo of Adamson University, has been granted by P2 million aid through the Philippine Council for Industry and Energy Research Institute (DOST-PCIERD) for fabrication of catch basin or tanks.

The water may cater to domestic and industrial use to lessen their dependency on expensive commercial water and make use of abundant water from rain.

The country experiences 20 typhoons each year, and excessive downpour sometimes cause calamities such as rain-induced flashfloods and landslides.

The PCIERD is enhancing Mateo's technology to enable it to produce safe drinking water, Yumul said.
