Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Rainwater harvesting is the accumulation and storage of rainwater for reuse on-site, rather than allowing it to run off. Rainwater can be collected from rivers or roofs, and in many places, the water collected is redirected to a deep pit (well, shaft, or borehole), a reservoir with percolation, or collected from dew or fog with nets or other tools. Its uses include water for gardens, livestock,[1] irrigation, domestic use with proper treatment, indoor heating for houses, etc. The harvested water can also be used as drinking water, longer-term storage, and for other purposes such as groundwater recharge.

Rainwater harvesting is one of the simplest and oldest methods of self-supply of water for households usually financed by the user.[2]

Answer:

Rainwater harvesting is discussed below.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Rainwater harvesting is assembling the run-off from construction or other impenetrable covering to save it for succeeding use.
  • Traditionally, this comprises collecting the rainwater from a rooftop.
  • The rainwater will accumulate in gutters that route the water into downspouts and then into some kind of accommodation container.
