hope u like the answer
(i) In semi-arid regions of Rajasthan every house had underground tankas to store the water for drinking purposes.
(ii) These tankas are large and deep which were built inside the main house or the courtyard.
(iii) They were linked to the sloping roofs of the houses through a pipe. Rainwater falling on the rooftops would run down through a pipe and collect in the underground tankas.
(iv) The rainwater collected, is stored in the tankas providing drinking water till the next rainy season.
(v) When all other sources have dried up, these tankas were beneficial to beat the summer heat as they kept the rooms cool. The rainwater or palar pani, as commonly known in these parts, is considered the purest form of natural water.

Rainwater Harvesting➫ The technique used to store rainwater by making water harvesting structure to recharge the underground water resource.
♦ It is one of the methods that can be used for water conservation.
♦ It can be a paved area like the terrace or courtyard of a building.
♦ If we are to have a sustainable future, then rainwater harvesting is going to have to become an important part of our life.
♦ The catchment of a water Harvesting system is the surface which directly receives the rainfall and provides water to the system.
➧ Types of rainwater harvesting system are:-
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=⤵
❱ Direct Pumped
❱ Indirect Pumped
❱ Indirect Gravity
➧ It comprises components of various stages:-
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=⤵
❱ Transporting Rainwater through pipes or drains.
❱ Filtration.
❱ storage in tanks for reuse or recharge.
➧ How is the Rainwater Harvesting Done:-
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=⤵
❱ By taking rooftop rainwater directly into the ground by drain pipes, dug well or Sunk for water pump.
❱ By taking rain water directly into pond & tanks.
❱ By making percolation tanks, well, deep pits or trenches in the path of rainwater.
➧ Advantages of Rainwater Harvesting are:-
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=⤵
❱ It reduces run of loss of rainwater.
❱ It maintains supply of water during dry month.
❱ It recharges underground water.
❱ It checks soil erosion.
