2. What Is Rainwater Harvesting?
RWH consists of simple systems to collect,
convey, and store rainwater. Rainwater capture is
accomplished primarily from roof-top, surface
runoff, and other surfaces.
RWH either captures stored rainwater for direct
use (irrigation, production, washing, drinking
water, etc.) or is recharged into the local ground
water and is call artificial recharge.
