 WHAT IS RAINWATER HARVESTING?
•
• Rainwater harvesting is the process of collecting and storing rainwater for various uses. It
involves the collection of rainwater from surfaces like rooftops, land surfaces and then
directing it to storage tanks or reservoirs.

• The collected rainwater can then be used for domestic, agricultural, or industrial purposes.

• Harvesting rainwater can lower water bills, particularly for non-potable uses like irrigation
or toilet flushing.
 IMPORTANCE OF RAINWATER HARVESTING
● Many regions around the world face
water scarcity, rainwater harvesting
provides an additional water source that
can help reduce water scarcity issues.

● It promotes self-sufficiency by providing

an alternative water supply during water
scarcity or droughts.

● Rainwater is relatively clean and free

from harmful chemicals, making it
suitable for various non-potable uses.
BENEFITS OF RAINWATER HARVESTING
● This is an easily accessible clean water source as rainwater is a renewable source so it
does not exhaust our resources.

● Rainwater harvesting helps to conserve natural water resources and reduce the strain on
ecosystems.

● Rainwater harvesting helps to conserve natural water resources and reduce the strain on
ecosystems.

● Rainwater is generally clean and free from some contaminants found in other water
sources. By implementing proper filtration and purification methods, rainwater can be
made suitable for various uses, including potable purposes after adequate treatment.
