Rainwater harvesting is accumulating and storing rainwater for reuse without allowing it to run off. For thousands of years, humans have survived in the desert by skillfully managing the scarce resource.
The water we obtain from the rain is collected in a tank or well for later use. Because there is water flow only for a brief period, storage is important in rainwater harvesting.
