Water is a vital resource essential for sustaining life, yet the increasing demand across domestic, agricultural, and industrial sectors has led to a global water crisis. Groundwater remains the most reliable source, but its renewal has been severely impacted by rapid urbanization, which has significantly reduced the infiltration of rainwater into the soil, thereby diminishing groundwater recharge.

The overexploitation of groundwater resources has caused a sharp decline in water levels across many regions. Furthermore, poor groundwater quality due to high salinity, fluoride, and nitrate content limits the availability of freshwater. To address these challenges, adopting Rainwater Harvesting (RWH) has become imperative for managing water shortages, alleviating pressure on existing sources, and promoting sustainable water practices.

A rainwater harvesting system provides a practical, sustainable solution by storing surface water or recharging groundwater for future use. This approach is especially crucial in highly urbanized and industrial regions like Rajasthan, where water demand is rapidly outpacing supply and groundwater levels are depleting at alarming rates. Implementing RWH systems is essential to meeting current and future water demands while ensuring long-term environmental sustainability.
