Question

Give two ways in which Rainwater Harvesting is important for India.

Answer 1

1. Water Scarcity: Rainwater harvesting can assist in addressing this issue by collecting and storing rainwater for later use. India is a water-stressed nation, with many areas experiencing severe water scarcity throughout the summer.
2. Groundwater Depletion: India is the world's biggest user of groundwater, and in several regions of the nation, there are serious concerns about groundwater depletion. Recharging the groundwater table and preventing further depletion can be achieved by rainwater collecting.
