Rain Water Harvesting
RWH (Rainwater Harvesting)
RWH is one of the simplest and oldest methods of self-supply of water for households. It helps in preventing urban flooding due to excess rain. Rainwater harvesting is collected from a roof-like surface and redirected to a tank, cistern, deep pit (well, a shaft or borehole), aquifer or a reservoir with percolation, so that it seeps down and restores the ground water. It can be used for watering gardens, livestock, irrigation practices in farming region, domestic use with proper treatment.
