Rain water harvesting in India - Tractorgyan
-
The activity of gathering and storing rainwater for later use is known as rainwater harvesting. Rainwater from roofs, catchment areas, or other surfaces is collected and channeled into subterranean reservoirs, tanks, or other types of storage. This collected rainwater can subsequently be used for a variety of things, like irrigation, household consumption, cattle irrigation, and groundwater recharge. Rainwater Harvesting helps reduce water shortages, particularly in areas with limited access to freshwater sources. It encourages sustainable water management and lessens reliance on outside water sources. Lowering the amount of stormwater runoff also lessens the effects of urban flooding. Rainwater collection is an economical and environmentally responsible alternative that improves water self-sufficiency and resource conservation. To provide water security and resilience in the face of changing climatic conditions, its implementation can be scaled up at both the individual and communal levels.
