Abstract
Water is necessary for all life and has a wide variety of applications. It's an integral aspect of the natural world, without which the continuation of biological diversity would be impossible. Even in places where there is an abundance of fresh water, people are increasingly struggling to get their hands on clean drinking water, making fresh water scarcity a global issue. Because of increased interannual and annual changes in precipitation (due to monsoonal rains), and a high demand for water lost to evaporation, there is a chronic shortage of water. When a watershed is ready to receive runoff or creek flow, that water can be harvested and stored for later use. The phrase "water harvesting" now describes the practise of collecting and storing rainwater, either as runoff or as creek flow, in either above- or below-ground reservoirs. Originally intended for use in dry and semiarid environments, this terminology is now also applied to subhumid and humid locations. In this study, some water harvesting techniques were selected and tested for their environmental benefits using the survey method involving ANOVA tests. The results from the study indicate that the adoption of water management techniques, such as surface runoff and groundwater recharge have the potential to improve the environment. The outcomes of this study indicate that the selected methods can be suggested for developing optimum water harvesting strategies.
