Question

Can i please get a big paragraph about rain harvesting

Answer 1

Rain water harvesting is a technique of collection and storage of rainwater into natural reservoirs or tanks, or the infiltration of surface water into subsurface aquifers (before it is lost as surface runoff). One method of rainwater harvesting is rooftop harvesting. With rooftop harvesting, most any surface — tiles, metal sheets, plastics, but not grass or palm leaf — can be used to intercept the flow of rainwater and provide a household with high-quality drinking water and year-round storage. Other uses include water for gardens, livestock, and irrigation, etc.

Answer 2

Rainwater harvesting is the technique of conservation of rain water or storage of water to use it for beneficial purposes during the dry season or when water is required.There are several methods for it like:-

• Potholes.
• Rooftop rainwater harvesting
• Groundwater recharge

Rainwater harvesting helps in:

• Providing irrigation
• In the water cycle
• Supply of water when it is needed
• Storage of water
• Saving of water

Rainwater harvesting is important in India as it helps in conserving water in some places where water is scarce.
