Rainwater Harvesting

In the hills the topography promotes quick runoff and the water soon after its precipitation runs down slope well beyond the limits where it could be productively used and therefore it has to be conserved where it falls and has to be utilized optimally thereafter.

Conservation of the roof top runoff has been demonstrated as an economic and easy technique of augmenting water availability. A large number of Ferro-cement tanks of around 4,000 liters capacity have been constructed in the region for the collection rooftop rainwater runoff.
