Abstract

Rain being the only source of fresh water, harvesting rainwater gains its rightful place of importance for ensuring adequate water for the future growth of human habitation. Rainwater harvesting as we understand now is a technology that has been quite effective in meeting the water requirement in ancient times. As it has already been mentioned earlier, rainwater harvesting basically is providing for a system to collect rainwater for future use. Rainwater harvesting systems can be categorized in different ways. It can be adapted for different needs and also depending on the funds that are available. It can also be categorized on the size of the storage, the distance of travel, or on the various catchment type, etc.
