stormwater harvesting

Stormwater harvesting involves collecting and storing rainwater that runs off surfaces like roofs, roads, and land during storms. Instead of allowing it to flow into rivers or drains, the water is captured and stored for later use, such as watering gardens, flushing toilets, or even as a backup water source. This process helps reduce flooding, conserve groundwater, and manage water resources more sustainably. Proper systems ensure water quality and prevent local flooding or erosion. It’s a practical way to make the most of natural rainfall, especially in urban areas facing water scarcity.
