What is RWH?
Rainwater Harvesting refers to the collection of rainwater where it falls for later use,
typically during non-monsoon months. The goal of RWH is twofold: to supplement
the supply of municipal water and to conserve surface water bodies and
groundwater sources.
The two aspects of RWH are i) collection
of rainwater in ponds, lakes, tanks etc. at the macro level and in plastic and masonry tanks at the micro level for immediate use and ii) Putting rainwater into the soil for sustaining the groundwater source.
