ECONOMIC PROJECT

Theme: rain water harvesting.

Research question: economic analysis of rain water harvesting comparing

developed and developing countries.

Research objective: * Rainwater is a naturally occurring potentially clean source

of water. There has been an increased interest in rainwater harvesting (RWH)
in both developing and developed nation.

*RWH can alleviate the effects of accelerated urbanisation

and improve their water security in the face of uncertain future climate
patterns.

* Success in Australia is promising for developing countries

with inadequate water supply for drinking and sanitation and unreliable
centralised water supply systems.

Project methodology: website, internet.

Presentation of data: tabular presentation

Learners outcome: Water scarcity is serious problem throughout the world for both
urban & rural community. Urbanization, industrial development & increase in agricultural
field & production has resulted in overexploitation of groundwater & surface water
resources and resultant deterioration in water quality. The conventional water sources
namely well, river and reservoirs, etc. are inadequate to fulfill water demand due to
unbalanced rainfall.
