Naresh Chauhan | Oct 31 2008


With a rapid growth in population, water crisis is looming large around the world. We may have the largest source of water- rains - around but some of the developing nations in Africa and Asia are failing to provide even drinking water to people due to a lack of proper equipments to harness the natural resources. Rain Drops is a unique but inexpensive design that can solve the growing water scarcity worldwide. All the users need to do, is modify the existing gutter system a bit, to adjust the standard plastic bottles that collects rainwater to be used to water your garden or washing your hands, and maybe for drinking purpose after proper hygiene and filtration.

Design status:

Rain Drops is the winning entry in the Design for Poverty event.

Usability:

Allowing people to adapt standard plastic bottles to an existing gutter system, Rain Drops is an innovative way of collecting rainwater for regular use that would otherwise wash away into the sea and oceans. Users also need not spend heavily on the installation of expensive storage and filtration system as Rain Drops simply attach standard plastic bottles to an existing gutter system. Moreover, It’ll also help in recycling or reusing the plastic bottles, protracting earth from synthetic waste.

We can save our money in simply doing this. Specially nowadays, money really matters. Global crisis is our economy. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke says banks need much more than a payday loan to end the mortgage crisis. After $350 billion from the Troubled Asset Relief Program was spent on aiding financial institutions, more than half of modified loans ended up in default anyway. Even access to a payday loan couldn’t help most homeowners, and 53 percent of them ended up in default within six months. Now Bernanke is saying even more rescue money is needed to get the economy back on track. After the shady way the original funding was tracked after the Treasury was given basically a free license to spend it however it saw fit, I am a little skeptical about throwing more money at the same cause. Luckily, Obama says there will be more oversight regarding the remaining $350 billion, which will be available soon. To read more about this topic, visit your payday loan news source.

There are several ways in saving money and one of this is through saving water. In such a way, whenever we put the raindrop in a plastic bottle we can save our money. And in like manner, when instances that we really need money, payday loan can give us the answer.
