Question

paragraph about rainwater harvesting

Answer 1

Rainwater harvesting means collection of rainwater and to store it in different containers applying proper means to keep the water fit for any use.

The rainwater may fall anywhere on the earth, but that must not be allowed to roll or run downwards to get evaporated or to seep into dirt or filth and thus become unfit for use.

The main purpose of keeping the rain water conserved is the ponds, channels, ditches, canals, etc. is to recharge the groundwater with this surplus unused water. This conserved water is lifted up with the help of deep or shallow tube-wells to be used as drinking water or to be used in agriculture

Answer 2

The main purpose of keeping the rain water conserved is the ponds, channels, ditches, canals, etc. is to recharge the groundwater with this surplus unused water. This conserved water is lifted up with the help of deep or shallow tube-wells to be used as drinking water or to be used in agriculture.

Uses: The water that collected through rainwater harvesting is used for several purposes.

This reserved rainwater can be properly filtered and treated to be used as drinking water.This water is stored up in ponds, ditches, canals, etc. in the rural areas for using in everyday household chores as well as in agriculture also.The subterranean water in some areas are not drinkable due to it’s high arsenic percentage. To mitigate this problem in those areas, rain-water is conserved carefully to be used as the substitute for drinking water.
