Reading books (mentioned in syllabus) is mandatory for the preparation of the examinations.  Rainwater Harvesting  Objectives of Rain Water Harvesting: Rain water harvesting fulfill the demand of water in domestic, industrial, and agricultural sectors. It helps to raise the water table by recharging ground water. It helps in minimizing ground water pollution. The proper harvesting of rain water reduces soil erosion, flooding  and run off. It reduces the incidence of floods.  Techniques of Rainwater Harvesting  This can be done by constructing special structures like dug wells,  percolation pits, lagoons, check dams, tanks, etc.  Broadly there are two ways of harvesting rainwater:  Surface runoff harvesting  Roof top rainwater harvesting This PPT should be used as reference only.
