Water, water everywhere, but not a drop to drink! This is not a scenario in the ocean, but on land, where global warming has led to massive flooding, including water reservoirs. From time to time there is also no electricity because the local substation is down due to water flooding. What can we do now? Here is a helpful hint.
Rebuild our houses with underground water tanks. And make it big enough to store water for at least a month. House enclosures should also be paved with a surface layer, either of natural or syntactic materials, to trap and filter rainwater. The filtered water must then be channeled to the groundwater reservoir by means of pipes and pumps. The deposit will be able to house piped water and rainwater. Rainwater may not arrive during the dry weather season, so if you fill your reservoir three-quarters full of water from the pipe, at least you’ll have water during emergencies. There must also be an automatic water control system so that it can function without supervision. Today’s telemetry devices are smart enough that your automated system won’t run into trouble. You can even wire it in such a way that you can check its status while you’re out of the house. Electric pumps will be installed to channel the inlet and outlet of water. In case of emergencies, an auxiliary gasoline-powered generator set should also be connected to the pumps. It should also be located at a level where it is not easily flooded with water and, in this sense, it would be advisable to locate it at ceiling level. This is a very basic system and other elements can be added to make it a comprehensive system.
