Rainwater harvesting is a technique for collecting and storing rainwater runoff from impervious surfaces.

Rainwater harvesting can be used to provide water for human consumption, irrigation, livestock and wildlife watering, washing cars and other outdoor activities.

Rainwater harvesting can also help reduce the amount of storm water runoff that enters natural waterways such as rivers and streams. This reduces the amount of pollution in these waterways which in turn improves water quality downstream.

Rainwater harvesting is the process of collecting and storing rainwater for future use. Rainwater harvesting systems are typically made up of three basic components:

– A roof surface that can be sloped to collect water

– A storage tank to store the harvested water

– An overflow pipe that diverts excess water from the tank back to the atmosphere

There are many different types of rainwater harvesting systems that can be installed depending on the location and the amount of water needed.

The most common type is the rooftop rainwater harvesting system. It collects the rain from a rooftop and stores it in a cistern or tank for later use. The rooftop system is usually combined with an underground storage tank to store water for periods when there is no rainfall or when there is extra demand for water.

Another type of system is the ground-level rainwater harvesting system which collects water from areas like sidewalks, driveways, patios, etc. It then filters and stores it in an underground storage tank or cistern before using it for irrigation purposes or other purposes such as flushing toilets.

Finally, there are also some other types of systems like storm-drainage catchment systems which collect storm runoff from gutters and channels it into tanks.
