Question

List two advantages associated with water harvesting at the community level.

Answer 1

Advantages of water harvesting at the community level are as follows:-

Rainwater harvesting improves the quality of groundwater. The stored water provides moisture to the vegetation in and around the area, thus preventing soil erosion and floods.

The stored water does not provide a breeding ground for mosquitoes and microorganisms unlike the stagnant water in ponds and lakes.
