Washing, watering and even personal hygiene were the destination of those drops that accumulated in more or less archaic tanks for the collection of that water. Cisterns from the Arab world are the forerunners of current rainwater storage systems. These, in turn, descend from the monumental cisterns that were built in the Roman Empire to deposit that rainwater, which would later be used in agriculture and other uses.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The ancient Mayans, for their part, had their chultunes, their own cisterns in which they kept both water and corn and were built as underground chambers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Industrialization gradually began to cause adverse effects on the quality of rainwater, being detrimental to human consumption due to its content of polluting elements harmful to health.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most of the planet&#8217;s waters have physical-chemical and bacteriological pollutants that prevent their direct intake.

The stored rainwater does not contain chemicals or other elements that are harmful to plants. Similarly, its use in sewerage systems reduces the carbon footprint helping us to care for the environment.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rainwater is practically distilled water, but without the minerals that are necessary for us. In addition, when we store it, it can become contaminated if, for example, the tank is not perfectly clean. To make rainwater drinkable, we must have adequate equipment that allows us to eliminate impurities and also provide that water with the necessary minerals so that it is totally suitable for our consumption.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That is why Rain of Life has developed equipment that performs the function of collecting rainwater, which is stored in a tank, keeping it in perfect condition until it is purified and consumed. In this way, both in homes or small businesses and in larger offices and schools, the RoL50 and RoL1.000 atmospheric water generators can be located with their solar kits that carry out the channeling and purification of the collected rainwater.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-118e899 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"118e899\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-9741e45\" data-id=\"9741e45\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1d86bb0 elementor-align-right elementor-widget elementor-widget-wgl-button\" data-id=\"1d86bb0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"wgl-button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper elementor-button-icon\">\r\n\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button-link wgl-button elementor-button button-size-lg\" href=\"https:\/\/rainoflife.com\/kit-solar\/\" role=\"button\">\t\t\t\t<div class=\"button-content-wrapper \">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Saber M\u00e1s<\/span>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Natural resources have always been a source of inspiration for our ancestors who lived finding alternatives to the lack of technology or developments to survive.
