Question
Why are different water harvesting systems considered a viable alternative both socio-economically and environmentally in a country like India?
✓

Answer

  1. Water harvesting is the accumulation and deposition of rainwater for reuse on-site rather than allowing it to run off. People have in-depth knowledge of rainfall regions and soil types and have developed wide ranging techniques to harvest rainwater, groundwater, river water and flood water in keeping with the local ecological conditions and their water needs.
  2. Different rainwater harvesting methods are not only economical but also ecofriendly. Hence, these methods are desirable to be followed in each and every state of India.
