Conclusion

4. introduction
A rainwater harvesting system consists of three basic elements: a collection area, a conveyance system, and storage facilities.
Rainwater harvesting is much broader and includes roof catchments, storing water in ponds, tanks, reservoirs, small dams and in situ such as terraces.
One of the benefits of rainwater harvesting is that you can irrigate and achieve household food security.

5. Rainwater harvesting
Rainwater is harvested using various means, among them:
Roof tops
Rock outcrops
Storm water drains
Direct into a water reservoir
From catchment into rivers & dams
