Csapadékvízgyjt

Csapadékvízgyűjt refers to the practice and technology of collecting and storing rainwater. This method is employed for various purposes, including irrigation, domestic use, and groundwater recharge. In urban environments, csapadékvízgyűjt systems are increasingly being integrated into building designs to reduce reliance on municipal water supplies and mitigate the impact of stormwater runoff.

The collected water can be used directly for non-potable purposes such as flushing toilets, washing cars, or watering gardens. For potable use, further treatment and filtration processes are required, which can be complex and costly. Simple systems often involve collecting water from rooftops via gutters and downspouts, directing it into storage tanks or cisterns. These tanks can be located above ground or buried beneath the surface.

Csapadékvízgyűjt offers several environmental benefits. It conserves freshwater resources, particularly important in regions prone to drought. By reducing the volume of stormwater that enters conventional drainage systems, it helps to lessen the risk of urban flooding and the pollution of rivers and lakes with runoff contaminants. Furthermore, utilizing collected rainwater can decrease the energy required for water treatment and distribution by municipal water suppliers. The implementation of csapadékvízgyűjt can range from simple household solutions to large-scale municipal projects designed to manage entire watersheds.
