Description
Water is essential for the existence of life on earth. Increase in human population has resulted in exploitation of surface and underground water sources. Water is precious and it should always be conserved.
Rainwater is a renewable resource. Rainwater harvesting in various forms such as micro- residential ; medium-infiltration into ground in open yards, parks, check dams and so on; macro-reservoirs across water streams and the like will go a long way in conserving water for tomorrow.
The book “Rainwater Harvesting”, very clearly mentions the need, resource availability, methods of rain water harvesting and also about inter-basin transfer of water, thereby possibly creating a National Water Grid.
This book is useful for practicing engineers and administrators who are responsible for water resource activities. Rainwater harvesting should be looked upon as a shield to prevent extinction of life from the earth.
