RAINWATER HARVESTING

Rainwater harvesting is the accumulation and storage of rainwater for reuse on-site, rather than
allowing it to run off. Rainwater can be collected from rivers or roofs, and in many places, the water
collected is redirected to a deep pit (well, shaft, or borehole), aquifer, a reservoir with percolation, or
collected from dew or fog with nets or other tools. Its uses include water for
gardens, livestock, irrigation, domestic use with proper treatment, indoor heating for houses, etc.
The harvested water can also be used as drinking water, longer-term storage, and for other
purposes such as groundwater recharge.


Rainwater harvesting provide the independent water supply during regional water restrictions, and in
developed countries, is often used to supplement the main supply. It provides water when a drought
occurs, can help mitigate flooding of low-lying areas, and reduces demand on wells which may
enable groundwater levels to be sustained. It also helps in the availability of potable water, as
rainwater is substantially free of salinity and other salts. Applications of rainwater harvesting in urban
water system provides a substantial benefit for both water supply and wastewater subsystems by
reducing the need for clean water in water distribution systems, less generated stormwater in sewer
systems, and a reduction in stormwater runoff polluting freshwater bodies.
