This will help to ensure that the health centers have a reliable source of water, even during times of drought or water shortages.<\/p>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"7:1-7:233\">The systems are also environmentally friendly. By collecting rainwater, they help to reduce the reliance on groundwater and other freshwater resources. They also help to reduce stormwater runoff, which can pollute rivers and streams.<\/p>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"9:1-9:272\">The rainwater harvesting systems at the two health centers are expected to collect and store a combined total of 1,600 liters of water per day. This will be enough to meet the needs of the health centers for non-potable water, such as flushing toilets and watering plants.<\/p>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"9:1-9:272\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-21947\" src=\"http:\/\/www.techbeatph.com\/wproot\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/SM-3.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"878\" height=\"420\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.techbeatph.com\/wproot\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/SM-3.png 878w, https:\/\/www.techbeatph.com\/wproot\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/SM-3-300x144.png 300w, https:\/\/www.techbeatph.com\/wproot\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/SM-3-768x367.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 878px) 100vw, 878px\" \/><\/p>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"11:1-11:208\">Dr. Alfredo P.
