Rain water harvesting (RWH) is a technique of collection and storage ofrainwater 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.
Major objectives of rainwater harvesting are
1. To reduce run off loss
2. To avoid flooding of roads
3. To meet the increasing demands of water
4. To raise the water table by recharging ground water
5. To reduce ground water contamination
6. To supplement ground water supplies during lean seasons
