Precipitation Harvesting
Rainwater Harvesting (Rural)
Rooftop rainwater harvesting (RTRWH) is the most common technique of rainwater harvesting (RWH) for domestic consumption. In rural areas, this is…
Rainwater Harvesting (Urban)
Rooftop rainwater harvesting (RTRWH) is the most common technique of rainwater harvesting (RWH) for domestic consumption. It can be done easily,…
Bunds
Bunds are among the most common techniques used in agriculture to collect surface run-off, increase water infiltration and prevent soil erosion.…
Field Trenches
Field trenches increase precipitation harvesting by breaking the slope of the ground and therefore reducing the velocity of water runoff. By…
Planting Pits
Planting pits are used as a precipitation harvesting method to prevent water runoff and thereby increase infiltration and reduce erosion. Basically,…
Micro Basins
Micro basins are a common technique used in agriculture to collect surface run-off, increase water infiltration and prevent soil erosion. Their…
Retention Basin
Retention basins are among the most frequently implemented storm water management systems. They are used to collect surface runoff and to improve the…
Sand Dams and Subsurface Dams
Sand dams and subsurface dams (both some times called more general groundwater dams) store water under the ground. A sand dam is a small dam build…
Check Dams & Gully Plugs
Gully plugs, also called check dams, are mainly built to prevent erosion and to settle sediments and pollutants. Furthermore, it is possible to keep…
Controlled Drainage
Controlled drainage is a precipitation harvesting method used to reduce short-term water related stress on plants, such as during flooding or drought…
Fog Drip
Fog harvesting provides a cheap complementary water source for arid and semiarid, rural regions. As the wind blows the fog through specially designed…
Surface Groundwater Recharge
Artificial recharge is the planned, man-made increase of groundwater levels. By improving its natural replenishment capacities and percolation from…
