Answer:
The importance of rainwater harvesting lies in the fact that it can be stored for future use.
Just as it can be used directly so also the stored water can be utilized to revitalize the ground level water and improve its quality.
This also helps to raise the level of ground water which then can be easily accessible.
Methods of Rainwater Harvesting
There are primarily two prevalent methods of rainwater harvesting that are used in most of the areas:
Surface Run-off Rainwater Harvesting: The rainwater that flows off in the urban areas can be collected and stored to recharge the groundwater level or the aquifer bed, instead of letting the water flow into the drains.
Rooftop Rainwater Harvesting: In rooftop harvesting the rainwater is directly collected from the roof of the buildings and transported either into a tank or an artificial aquifer. Through this method the harvested water can be used for daily use purposes (including drinking and cooking, only after purifying the water at a basic level) and for recharging the aquifers and help restore the groundwater levels.
