Rain Water Harvesting
-
Rain Water Harvesting Rainwater harvesting is a method of collecting and utilizing rainfall where it falls to minimize waste. It serves multiple purposes, including providing drinking water, irrigation, enhancing groundwater recharge, and reducing urban flooding. Key techniques include capturing rooftop runoff and seasonal floodwaters, using systems like storage tanks and recharge wells. Effective rainwater management depends on understanding local rainfall patterns and implementing structures to filter and store water. While costs can be substantial, especially for groundwater recharge systems, the benefits of sustainable water supply and reduced environmental impact make it a valuable practice in water-scarce areas.
