Rainwater Harvesting CisternsWhat is a Rainwater Harvesting Cistern?
The rainwater harvesting cistern is the backbone of any rainwater harvesting system. In essence, these systems rely on a catchment area that is usually a sloped roof, a conveyance network of gutters and downspouts, a storage tank, and a distribution system. Since 2005 the Rotary's Community Projects Committee (CPC) has been committed and actively working in bettering the lives of families in the rural communities and empowering women through their many projects. Through partnerships with organizations like CEDESA, COCIRA, and Rotary Clubs around the globe, Midday Rotary Club has achieved many goals. Almost 1,500 cisterns, and counting, have been built that holds 12,000 liters of water each. That's nearly 18 million liters of potable water for many who didn't have it. We will share the benefits, the beneficiary's stories, and the creative fundraising over the years that have provided the investment of over 20,000,000 pesos into the neediest communities around us. |
