Rainwater harvesting is the process of saving rainwater by gathering, cleaning, moving, or storing it from surfaces like rooftops or open spaces rather than allowing it to flow off. Rainwater is regarded as appropriate for use in irrigation procedures because it is chemically free. Tanks, reservoirs, cisterns, or deep pits with percolation are common places to store collected rainwater. There are several different ways to collect rainwater: submersible direct pumping, direct pumping via suction, gravity alone, indirect gravity, and indirect pumping.
Europe Rainwater Harvesting Market Driving Factors and Challenges
Driving Factors- Solutions for sustainable water management are desperately needed, since the world faces an increasing water crisis that is made worse by elements like population increase, fast urbanization, and climate change. An innovative solution to the problems associated with water scarcity is rainwater harvesting. Using rainwater collection and utilization lessens the dependency on traditional water supplies and provides a substitute source of water for non-potable uses such as industrial processes, sanitation, and agriculture.
More incentives and regulatory support.
The importance of rainwater collection in meeting water conservation goals and encouraging eco-friendly behaviors is being acknowledged by governments and municipalities around. Regulations that mandate or reward the integration of rainwater harvesting systems across a range of industries have been put into place as a result of this recognition.
Challenges- The issue affecting the market's growth is the uneven distribution of rainfall and people's ignorance about it. Worldwide, the amount of rainfall falls on a mere one-third of the days in a year. These days saw over three-quarters of the annual rainfall. Strong monsoons cause the economy to flourish. But the poor monsoon caused extensive damage to agriculture, which impeded economic expansion. In certain countries, rainfall is distributed unevenly, making it challenging to forecast when it will fall. Furthermore, impeding the market's expansion is the unpredictable nature of rainfall and a lack of awareness of these factors. In addition, those who live in cities frequently discover that the less fortunate can collect rainwater.
Impact of COVID-19 on Europe Rainwater Harvesting Market
The COVID-19 pandemic in Europe seriously harmed rainwater gathering infrastructure. Lockdown measures and economic uncertainty led to the abandonment or postponement of construction projects, initially causing a fall in the market. Many governments diverted funding from sustainability initiatives to focus on critical healthcare needs and economic relief efforts. Still, as the disease spread and the importance of environmental sustainability gained wider recognition, there was a resurgence of interest in rainwater harvesting equipment.
