Rainwater harvesting is a simple and practical solution. Every rainfall presents an opportunity for households to collect, filter and store this valuable resource.
The harvested rainwater can be used for non-drinking purposes like flushing toilets, irrigation and car washing.
It helps reduce stormwater runoff, erosion, and flooding, while providing an alternative water source to municipal supplies.
By implementing this technique, households can manage their water usage while reducing their environmental impact.
