Rainwater harvesting reduces water stress and helps recharge groundwater—especially important in many Indian cities.

Two common setups

Rooftop collection to a storage tank (for non-drinking uses)
Recharge pit/well (to replenish groundwater)

Key components

Catchment (roof), gutters, first-flush diverter, filter, and storage/recharge. Maintenance is simple: clean gutters and filters before monsoon.

RWA tip

If you live in an apartment, propose a pilot: one building block + one recharge pit. Track water savings for 2 months.
