POSSIBILITY OF RAINWATER UTILISATION IN HOUSEHOLDS

Life cannot exist without water. Consequently, healthy potable water can be regarded as one of the highest values of each country. In Hungary as a result of poor environmental management, thoughtless storage of contaminating materials and the lack of public awareness concerning this issue surface water and groundwater resources cannot be used as potable water apart from some exceptions. Therefore water resources became especially highly appreciated. Rain is the primary source of fresh water for most areas of the world, providing suitable conditions for diverse ecosystems, as well as water for hydroelectric power plants and crop irrigation [9].
