QUOTE(joker98 @ Apr 11 2014, 06:02 PM) I think it is a good idea to harvest rain water, but like what everybody has mentioned, the intended usage is quite crucial. my experience with fishpond usually fengshui got blame ... fish die to counter sha !! lolz ... For example, my brother in law built a koi pond in his house. His roof has no gutter and he did not realise that most of the water from his roof flows down to where his koi pond is. He built it during the dry season and when the first bout of heavy rain came, almost all the fish died within half a day. He then monitored during the next heavy rain and realised a lot of rain water from the roof ended up in the pond due to the shape of the roof. After the rain, he measured the pond water with a PH tester and the acidity was off the charts for any koi to survive. btw the USA reason for having law on water harvesting is that water are public property and by harvesting you are hogging public property. its like trying to dig petroleum at your house ... |

i'll have to say that water currently is too cheap for me to implement this.
my monthly bill is -0.65cent, yes its negative. before the Selangor gov subsidi, it used to be RM6 monthly. so I hardly used any water at all. even if I invest just RM1K for a Ok system ...it would take me 14 years to recover my RM6 monthly cost. I already didn't waste water to begin with ... so mother earth should already be happy. i think government should make compulsory commercial property rain harvesting, so that those commercial used their own harvested water for consumption. Then again it wont happen since the water company is profit oriented, why the hell they want you to safe water ... waste more even better, charge you more mah. |

you can get this information form SEDA, there is a limit of how much you can FIT.
every year also tell me its full, cronies got all the quota ?? RE Quota In many countries where the FiT system is implemented, caps on RE installed capacities are highly discouraged as these caps limit RE growth and constrain its impact. The avoidance of such caps is possible in countries where electricity tariff is deregulated. However, in a regulated electricity market such as in Malaysia, the funding source for FiT is limited to a fixed percentage imposed on the utility’s electricity revenue. Therefore, caps are essential to ensure that there will be adequate funds to make the FiT payments to RE generators. Once the electricity market in Malaysia is deregulated, or when FiT has been operating for a considerable period of time, then removal of the caps may be possible. Capping is achieved by putting a capacity limit or quota for new feed-in approvals in respect of each renewable resource for 6-month windows over the next 3 years. The reason for the 6-month window frame is to limit the waiting period for the next available set of quotas to a maximum of 6 months. The e-FiT system has been enhanced with a more user-friendly portal; displaying automatic real-time update of RE Quota on a separate RE Quota webpage. Please click here to get the latest update of RE Quota available for any Feed-in Approval application and thereafter there is no necessity to refresh the RE Quota webpage. |
