According to Hawaii Department of Health,
Leptospirosis is circulating in Hawaii.
Don’t swim in fresh water with an open cut in Hawaii.
Have you ever heard of Leptospirosis? It’s a bacterial disease that impacts humans and animals in Hawaii.
The disease occurs all over the world but is most common in warm climates. Symptoms include fever, chills, headache, muscle pain, sweating, vomiting and pain behind the eyes.
Symptoms may last from a few days to several weeks. Although most cases are mild, some can be severe, causing acute liver and kidney failure. You can get Leptospirosis by swimming or wading in freshwater puddles, ponds or streams contaminated with animal urine or coming into contact with wet soil or plants contaminated with animal urine.
The bacteria will enter the body through broken skin or through the soft tissues of the inside of the mouth, nose, or eyes. Leptospirosis is not spread from person to person.
While hiking to waterfalls in Hawaii you may notice signs warning people about this disease.
According to Hawaii Department of Health, Leptospirosis is circulating in Hawaii. It is estimated that 100-200 cases of the disease are identified annually in the United States and approximately 50% of these cases occur in Hawaii.
If you have symptoms of Leptospirosis and were exposed to infected water, it’s best to call your healthcare provider and ask for a blood test to determine if you have been infected.
You can avoid getting Leptospirosis by not getting in fresh water, ponds or streams in Hawaii especially if they have Leptospirosis signs nearby when you have an open cut or sores.
Tips to avoid getting Leptospirosis
- Do not swim or wade in any freshwater streams or ponds in Hawaii, especially when you have open cuts or sores.
- Swimming with your head underwater also increases your risk of infection through the eyes, nose, and mouth.
- Do not drink pond or stream water without boiling or chemically treating it.
- Wear gloves when disposing of dead animals and when gutting (cleaning) livestock or game animals.
- Vaccinate farm animals and pets.

RAINWATER HARVESTING IS VITAL FOR THE
FUTURE OF SUSTAINABLE WATER RESOURCES
Personal Water Security Begins With
Rainwater Harvesters
Rainwater Harvesters are part of the solution!
THE WATER CONSERVATION BENEFITS OF RAINWATER HARVESTING
Rainwater harvesting has many benefits but the main one is that it is a sustainable water management practice that can be implemented by anyone on many different levels, from a simple rain barrel to a
comprehensive rainwater harvesting system that integrates with an irrigation system or household plumbing.
When you think about it… do we need to use municipally treated water to sprinkle on our lawns and landscaping?
Definitely not! Harvested rainwater is the perfect candidate for irrigation use in addition to so many other water uses.
By using rainwater harvesting systems to supply water for some,
or all of our water needs, you can reduce our dependence on municipally treated water.
Overall, rainwater harvesting is viewed as a practice that is socially acceptable and
environmentally responsible all the while, promoting self-sufficiency.

Overall, rainwater harvesting is viewed as a practice that is socially acceptable and
environmentally responsible all the while, promoting self-sufficiency.
THE ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS OF RAINWATER HARVESTING
- The rainwater that falls on your roof and property is essentially free. All it takes is a method to harvest it into a tank or cistern for later use.
- Rainwater harvesting can be a great educational tool to get people to recognize their individual or household water usage. This can get them to start conserving water in other areas around their home.
- For communities that rely on imported water to supply their needs, collecting rainwater that falls naturally in the community can reduce the need for imported water.
- Rainwater harvesting helps utilities reduce peak demands during summer months, saving treated water for more important and appropriate water uses.
- While rainwater can be a perfect primary water source for many uses and situations, it is also a great backup water supply for emergency situations.
THE WATER-ENERGY BENEFITS OF RAINWATER HARVESTING
While the logical use of rainwater harvesting is for water conservation purposes, it also reduces energy use within a community.
- Typically, the end use of the rainwater is located on the property where the rainwater is collected. Replacing municipal water use at a home and property with rainwater reduces the amount of water that a municipality has to treat and then pump to your house. The treatment and pumping of municipally provided water require a lot of energy.
- The implementation of rainwater harvesting can help meet new standards of energy and water efficiency ratings and codes that are being developed in communities.
THE ECONOMIC BENEFITS OF RAINWATER HARVESTING
Collecting and using rainwater to replace municipal water use reduces your water bill
- Reducing municipal water use for areas such as irrigation reduces the amount of water that a municipality has to treat and pump. This, in turn, reduces water service cost to a municipality.
- The widespread implementation of rainwater harvesting within a municipality’s service area can reduce the long-term water development needs of a city, allowing the city to use their existing water infrastructure investments more efficiently. The cost to the community to supply treated water is becoming more expensive every year. The cost to construct dams, pipes, and treatment plants, not to mention the cost of maintenance and infrastructure replacement is huge. As water users, the rate-payers in the community ultimately will foot this rising bill. Therefore, the practice of rainwater harvesting can reduce water demand and thus allow municipalities to provide potable water service at a lower cost.
- Designing and installing rainwater collection systems can provide sustainable jobs for the economy of the future. The rainwater harvesting industry can become a leading employer in the green infrastructure movement. If you want to work send you resume and cover letter to Uncle.Tilo@gmail.com
- Rainwater stored onsite in a rainwater harvesting system can be available for wildfires and help protect the house and property. Insurance companies can offer discounts for storing water onsite for
THE ANCILLARY BENEFITS OF RAINWATER HARVESTING
Rainwater can be used for irrigation use, indoor non-potable water use, and/or potable water supply.
- Rainwater harvesting can provide an independent water source in areas where other water sources are unavailable, or the water quality is unacceptable, or they are too expensive to develop, or they are too difficult to obtain.
- If used as a potable water source, the zero hardness of rainwater provides many advantages. It eliminates the scale build-up in household appliances that could occur with the use of other water sources. This will extend the life of the appliances. In addition, it reduces the amount of detergent or soaps needed in laundry and dishwashing appliances, reducing money spent on these detergents and soaps.
- Rainwater from a potable rainwater harvesting system that has been properly filtered and disinfected is some of the best tasting water available. It doesn’t have the many chemicals that municipally treated water has such as fluoride or chloramines (chlorine).
RAINWATER HARVESTING IS THE KEY TO
FUTURE WATER CONSERVATION GAINS
Ever since the US government enacted national standards in the U.S. Energy Policy Act of 1992 and set minimum efficiency standards for all toilets, showers, urinals and faucets manufactured in the United States, the opportunities for indoor water conservation has decreased. During this time, outdoor water use efficiency standards have somewhat been neglected. Therefore, rainwater harvesting provides a tremendous opportunity to achieve more water conservation gains at each and every residential and commercial property.
RAINWATER HARVESTING IS VITAL FOR THE
FUTURE OF SUSTAINABLE WATER RESOURCES
As you can see from the benefits and advantages listed above, the practice of rainwater harvesting is an important and vital part of developing a sustainable water resource path for any community. As local water resources are stretched to provide for population growth and economic development, new water supply strategies and paradigms will be necessary to meet this demand. Rainwater harvesting is an untapped resource that could be developed quickly within communities and that will also have a tremendous impact. Rainwater harvesting is part of a sustainable water supply strategy for local communities.
