Rainwater
Our planet is running out of resources and these are getting more expensive than
ever. That is why humans have started reusing. One of these resources is water.
There are several ways of reusing rainwater, for example people are starting to use
tanks in their houses. This water is not used for consumption because it is not
treated, but it can be used for mopping, cleaning the bathroom and watering the
garden, it is used for general purposes.
There is a bigger process made by public utilities with the dams to reuse rainwater.
These dams collect rainwater, then it is taken to the water treatment plant and after
this process, the public utility carries water to every home, this water can be used
for human consumption because it has been purified.
Wastewater from each house goes to a wastewater treatment plant when it is
treated again, so it can be reused. Excess treated water and storm water go to a
river to continue with the natural cycle of this precious resource.
