Rainwater Harvesting
“the accumulation and deposition of
rainwater for reuse on-site, rather than
allowing it to run off.”
ADVANTAGES
Reduce erosions and floods

transport rainwater to the storage catchment or rooftop area to

FIRST-FLUSHING
a valve that ensures that runoff from the
first spell of rain is flushed out and does
not enter the system

used to remove suspended pollutants
from rainwater collected over roof

could be constructed above Rainwater may be charged into the
ground, partly underground or groundwater aquifers through any suitable
fully underground structures like dugwells, borewells, recharge
