Filtration plays a crucial role in stormwater harvesting by removing impurities and contaminants from collected rainwater before storage or use. As stormwater runs over surfaces, it can pick up pollutants like sediment, debris, and chemicals. Filtration mechanisms, such as screens, sand filters, or biofiltration systems, are integrated into the harvesting infrastructure to trap these contaminants.
This ensures that the stored stormwater meets quality standards for its intended applications, such as irrigation or landscaping. Effective filtration not only safeguards the environment but also contributes to the longevity and efficiency of the stormwater harvesting system by preventing clogging and damage to downstream components.
