rainfall harvesting

Rainwater harvesting involves collecting and storing rainwater for future use, reducing reliance on traditional water sources. It typically uses systems like rooftop catchments with gutters and downspouts that direct water into storage tanks or reservoirs. The stored water can be used for irrigation, household chores, or even drinking after proper treatment. This method is environmentally friendly, helps conserve groundwater, and is especially beneficial in areas with irregular or scarce water supply. Proper planning and maintenance ensure clean and efficient collection, making rainwater harvesting a sustainable way to supplement water needs and reduce urban runoff.
