Rain water harvesting is the collection of rainwater into the man made resources or any natural resource like pond, lake, etc at the same place where it falls from rooftops or ground. Two main techniques of rainwater harvesting are storage for future use and recharge into the ground. It can be used for crop harvesting, gardening, toilets, etc. Following are the benefits of rainwater harvesting at individual or city-wide level:
It helps in reducing the water supply bills especially to the institutions.Rainwater recharged to the ground positively affects groundwater quality by diluting fluorides, nitrates and its salinity.It contains almost neutral pH and zero hardness which makes it more able to be used in homes, industries, institutions and other commercial establishments.It may reduce the stress of public water supply sources.Recharge of rainwater to the ground prevents sea-water immersion into the fresh water bodies in the coastal areas.It helps in controlling urban flooding if people do rainwater harvesting from rooftops.It reduces water demands of people from the municipality thus lessens energy consumption too in distributing water all through the city

Hey mate!
Here's your answer!!

✵ Rainwater harvesting is the method of collecting and storing rain water in natural tanks and reservoirs, and then using it for purposes like irrigation. Rain in an important source of water for us. We know that our planet Earth is 3-4th's filled by water, but we can not use all of water as it is not pure. The water present in oceans and seas cannot be used for purposes like drinking because there is a lot of salt content in this water. A lot of areas on this planet are facing the shortage of water, but this method of rainwater harvesting is helping them in collecting and utilizing water.
✵ This method is being used to reduce the consumption of water and reuse it, resulting in stopping wastage of water. There are two types of rainwater harvesting:
⋆ Surface rainwater harvesting ➡ We know that, in modern and urbanized areas, rainwater flows away in the form of the surface of the runoff. We can collect this water and use it for different purposes.
⋆ Rooftop rainwater harvesting ➡ In this method, the water is collected when it falls on the rooftop of the building. This method is very efficient and low cost. Water can be then stored into tanks for further use.
✵So, at last, I would say that rainwater harvesting is a good method of reducing wastage of water and is mainly practised in the Indian state of Rajasthan.
