Water Conservation Handbook by Keith Wheatley Pdf

A collection of various perspectives on the conservation and management policies of water has been presented in this unique book. Water is an essential and basic human need for urban, industrial and agricultural usage. Though there is abundance in fresh water resources, its uneven distribution across the world has generated challenges for sustainable use of this resource. Water conservation refers to an efficient and optimal usage of water, and the protection of valuable water resources. This book lays emphasis on some commonly used tools and techniques like rainwater harvesting, water reuse and recycling, cooling water recycling, irrigation techniques like drip irrigation, agricultural management methods, groundwater management and water conservation incentives.

Essential Rainwater Harvesting by Rob Avis,Michelle Avis Pdf

Design a rainwater harvesting system for any home in any climate. Water is a crucial resource increasingly under stress. Yet rainfall, even in arid climates, can make up a sizable portion of any home, acreage, or farm's water requirements if harvested and utilized with care. The key is appropriate planning and high-quality site- and climate-specific design. Essential Rainwater Harvesting is a comprehensive manual for designing, building, and maintaining water harvesting systems for the warm and cold climates of the world. Presenting design considerations and approaches for the most common household rainwater supply scenarios – primary, supplemental, and off-grid supply – this step-by-step approach covers: Considerations for full-property water security Demand planning and conservation strategies Supply calculations and design implications for extreme rainfall and drought Materials selection and water quality System and site assessment Sizing and design of gutters, conveyance, tanks, and pumps Pre-filtration, filtration, and disinfection options System maintenance and upkeep This practical resource provides DIYers, trades, and rainwater practitioners with the essential tools, methods, and technical know-how to design, build, and maintain rainwater harvesting systems anywhere. Rob Avis, P.Eng and Michelle Avis, P.Eng own and operate Adaptive Habitat, a leading edge property design firm for resilient homes, acreages, and farms and Verge Permaculture, a globally recognized award-winning education business. They have over 20 years of combined experience in project management, ecological design, and sustainable technologies, which they share at vergepermaculture.ca from their suburban house and yard that they've transformed into a model of cold climate urban permaculture in Calgary, Alberta.
