    The document discusses techniques for water conservation, including rainwater harvesting. It describes rainwater harvesting as the collection and storage of rainwater from rooftops and land surfaces for human use through decentralized systems installed in homes and institutions. The document provides details on surface runoff and roof top harvesting, and includes a flowchart showing the process of collecting rainwater through storm water pipes, filtering it, and recharging underground shafts. It notes benefits like multiple uses for rainwater, low maintenance, and reducing urban runoff and flooding.
