Part 3: Fill in the blanks (22 questions)

When we think harvests, we usually think plants. But can you also harvest a liquid? Sure. Just think of rainwater. Best of all, it is free, except the cost of a way to collect it.

One way to harvest rainwater is some technology developed International Development Enterprises. This is non-governmental organization. It is based in the American state of Colorado. It created the technology a way for people in developing countries to avoid having to drink polluted ground water.

The rainwater harvesting system, created International Development Enterprises, uses pipes to collect water from the roofs of buildings. The pipes stretch from the buildings to a two-meter storage tank. This tank is made metal. At the top of the tank is a so-called “first-flush” device made wire screen. This acts as a barrier. It prevents dirt and leaves in the water falling inside the tank.

A fitted cover sits over the first-flush device. It protects the water the tank from evaporating. The cover also prevents mosquitoes from landing the water and laying eggs.

Inside the tank is low-cost plastic bag that collects the water. The bag sits inside another plastic bag similar to those used to hold grain. The two bags are supported inside the metal tank. In all, the water storage system can hold up to three thousand five hundred liters of water.

International Development Enterprises the inner bags need to be replaced every two to three years. However, if the bags are not damaged by sunlight, they last even longer.

International Development Enterprises says the rainwater harvesting system should built a raised structure. Doing so will prevent insects from eating into it from the bottom.

The developers say one tank can provide a family five with enough rainwater to go through a five-month dry season.
