Question

Rainwater Harvesting

Answer 1

Rainwater harvesting is the accumulation and deposition 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), 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, and 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➫ 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.
