Introduction to Rainwater Harvesting
Rainwater harvesting involves collecting and
storing rainwater for various uses, such as
irrigation, domestic water supply, and industrial
processes. It's an age-old practice, but modern
technology has made it more efficient and
accessible. Rainwater is a valuable resource that
is often wasted through runoff. By capturing and
utilizing this water, we can reduce our reliance
on conventional water sources, which are often
under strain due to population growth, climate
change, and pollution.

key components Catchment Area This is the
surface that collects rainwater, typically
rooftops, but can also include paved areas.
Gutter System Channels rainwater from the
catchment area to the storage tank. Downspouts
Direct water from the gutters to the storage
tank. Storage Tank Holds the collected rainwater
for later use. Filtration System Removes debris
and impurities from the harvested
water. Distribution System Delivers the filtered
water to its intended use, such as taps or
irrigation systems.
