    "content": "Thank you Madam Temporary Speaker. I thank Sen. Kittony for bringing this Motion to the House. This is a very reasonable Motion. There are issues which it brings forth which are simple but reasonable. Rain water is clean water. We might not recognize this until you are in Europe where rain water is acidic and therefore cannot be put to good use. We do not have to look to Europe to know how to use rain water because they do not use rain water for reasons of industrialization. We are not industrialized enough to spoil our atmosphere and, therefore, rain water is clean water. This is why it is important to look to rain water for its usefulness. Rain water is always at the right altitude for use. All houses in this country and those at the hill tops are still below the rain water level. Therefore, there is no additional cost to lifting the rain water from wherever they are to their homes. A lot of times we are unable to use water because of the cost implication of raising it to the altitude at which we want to use it, where our homes are and where our storage is. I think the policy of harvesting water is very reasonable. We should look at it very closely. Madam Temporary Speaker, if we are able to harvest rain water, we actually regulate the flow of that water. This is because we stop it at various levels and allow it to move on to the next level in a gradual manner thus not being destructive. Harvesting water is a way of regulating the destruction force of massive amounts of water flowing The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
