In monsoon season in India there is lot of rains that even many places get flooded with water and normal life gets to halt. If in India we can utilize this water in a proper way then we can come out of the water shortage problem, which is worsening with every passing year. Rain harvesting provides a good alternative for all this. Indian’s are using it from the ancient times but we have lost our touch with it today.

In rain harvesting rain water is allowed to flow in to tanks, pounds or wells made inside the home, office or other places. All this made rain water collected in the tanks. All these tanks are made in specific way that they work as natural filters of water. The impurities and mud gets cleaned away through the porous layers. This technology is not only useful in collecting water but it also increases the ground water level.

There is lot of examples of rain harvesting system where even not a single drop of water gets wasted. How we can allow this precious water to follow and then finally suffers with droughts. Rain harvesting can make people self sufficient in water. Rain harvesting requires a small one time investment and very less maintenance cost then onward. Many Indian governments also encourage rain harvesting and provide funds for it e.g. Delhi government. People can use this technique to benefit in future.
