Water harvesting is the process of collecting and storing rainwater or surface runoff for future agricultural and domestic use. It plays a critical role in regions with irregular rainfall patterns, helping to secure water availability during dry seasons.
Implementing efficient harvesting methods not only conserves precious resources but also enhances groundwater recharge, supports irrigation, and improves long-term agricultural productivity.
Capturing and storing rooftop or surface runoff ensures reliable water supply for farming and households.
Small reservoirs and check dams help recharge groundwater and provide water during dry spells.
Techniques like percolation pits and recharge wells increase aquifer levels and reduce water scarcity.
