configuration of domestic rainwater harvesting system in Uganda. [1]Rainwater harvesting (RWH) is the collection and storage of rain, rather than allowing it to run off.. Rainwater is collected from a roof-like surface and redirected to a tank, cistern, deep pit (well, shaft, or borehole), aquifer, or a reservoir with percolation, so that it seeps down and restores the ground w
A hand-drawn picture of a rainwater harvesting system in which potable water production (trough filtering) is imbedded. It is based on a drawing from the book "Duurzaam en Gezond Bouwen en Wonen" by Hugo Vanderstadt.

A semi-circular bund (also known as a demi-lune or half-moon) is a rainwater harvesting technique consisting in digging semi-lunar holes in the ground with the opening perpendicular to the flow of water. [1] [2]
A Chauka system is a method for harvesting rainwater, typically used in arid areas that are subject to monsoon rains. Chauka comes from the Hindi word for square. The system consists of square shaped embankments. On three sides there are nine inch walls and one side is left open to allow rainwater to fill the structure.
A rainwater catchment or collection (also known as "rainwater harvesting") system can yield 1,000 litres (260 US gal) of water from 1 cm (0.4 in) of rain on a 100 m 2 (1,100 sq ft) roof. Rainwater tanks are installed to make use of rain water for later use, reduce mains water use for economic or environmental reasons, and aid self-sufficiency.
Rainwater harvesting (RWH) is the process of collecting and storing rainwater rather than letting it run off. Rainwater harvesting systems are increasingly becoming an integral part of the sustainable rainwater management "toolkit" [5] and are widely used in homes, home-scale projects, schools and hospitals for a variety of purposes including watering gardens, livestock, [6] irrigation, home ...
