 Water harvesting
 Refers to the collection
and storage of rain water
for later use.
 It is a sustainable and
efficient practice that
helps address water
scarcity issues in various
regions
 INTRODUCTION
Water harvesting is a crucial strategy to augment
water especially in areas grown to drought or with
unreliable water supply
TYPES OF WATER HARVESTING
 A. Rainwater harvesting
 Rainwater harvesting is a
collection of rainwater from the
roof tops or other surfaces.
 Channels rainwater into storage
tanks or underground reservoirs
B.Surface runoff harvesting
☆ capturing water flowing
over the ground surface
.Redirecting run of to
storage system
Ground water recharge
♤Techniques to allow
rainwater to percolate into
the ground
♤Replenishes aquifers
and help maintain
groundwater levels
Components of rainwater
Harvesting
systems
 A.Catchment area
 Surface where rainwater falls and
is collected
 Typically roof
tops,payments,other impermeable
surfaces
 B.CONVEYANSE
SYSTEM
☆Gutters,pipes,channels to
transport collected water
☆Prevents water loss and
directs it to storage
 C.STORAGE TANKS

☆Containers to hold harvested

rainwater
☆Can be above ground or
underground based on available
space
