RAINWATER HARVESTING, A REVIEW
INDIAN JOURNAL OF APPLIED RESEARCH, 2022Water management is critical to any economy's growth and development, particularly in growing economies like India. However, due to excessive groundwater exploitation in the process of socioeconomic development and to meet the increased needs of the growing population, the resource is currently under stress.

This chapter considers the water flows in a typical roof rwh system. The components of the rwh system are also discussed. The chapter then presents a summary of the three types of roof rwh systems; direct system, gravity system and indirect system. Finally, some alternatives methods of rwh systems which utilise ground based systems for irrigation water

Rainwater Harvesting: Global Overview
2015Rainwater harvesting has been a common practice by different civilizations for about four thousand years mainly used for drinking purposes or agricultural practices. The Egyptians built storage tanks ranging from 200 to 2000 cubic meters (some of them are still in use today); in Thailand, the practice is about 2000-year old, and in rural areas of the ...

Rainwater-Harvesting Technology
2017Rainwater harvesting in buildings involves technology for its proper planning, design, installation, operation, and maintenance. Two major scopes of rainwater harvesting are (1) the use of rainwater for all general purposes and (2) recharging groundwater. In both cases, various functional techniques must be applied.
