Problems
1. Unpredictable Rainfall: Rainfall is hard to predict and sometimes little or no rainfall can limit the
supply of rainwater. It is not advisable to depend on rainwater alone for all your water needs in
areas where there is limited rainfall. Rainwater harvesting is suitable in those areas that receive
plenty of rainfall.
2. Regular Maintenance: Rainwater harvesting systems require regular maintenance. The
detachable filter needs to be replenished for at least every month. They can become as breeding
grounds for many animals if they became damaged or if not properly maintained.
