Rainwater harvesting as the name suggests is the harvesting of rainwater in the sense it is a process involving collection and the storage of rain water using the help of artificially designed systems that runs off natural or man-made catchment areas like the roof top, compounds, rock surface, hill slopes, artificially repaired impervious or semi-pervious land surface. Quite obviously a number of factors play a vital role in the amount of water harvested, some of these factors are the frequency and the quantity of rainfall, catchments characteristics, water demands and the quantum of runoff and above all else the speed and ease with which the rainwater percolates through the subsoil to recharge the ground water.
