Rain Water harvesting simply means collecting Water for future use during the rainy season.

Rain water harvesting has been in existence since long ago in various parts of India where the Summer months were harsh and the rainy seasons were short and the rainfall insufficient. In States like Rajasthan, Punjab , parts of Maharashtra and Gujarat they still have a method of water conservation which is most effective. They start by collecting all the rain water that falls on their own houses.All the water that is falling on the roof of the house and other parts where it is clean is collected and channelised into an underground tank . This not only brings up the water level of their well , but is helpful for them during the harsh summer months.

Kerala has the blessings of western ghats and ever green forests. Perhaps it may be the reason why we don't have water problems due to frequent rains. Water is abundant in rivers and streams. Yet the place now where I am residing, after a particular depth it's rock. So, even if it's just near paddy fields, well touches its bottom at summer season...yet we have it for our necessities
Ya that's right water problem is spreading all over the country and in my house 2 or 3 days water not come......
Now there is a chance of purchasing water from other countries as other countries purchase from us
Ya that thing may be happened but if they purchase it they provide us in high rate also.......
It's the need of the hour as we are very fast moving to a very scary water crisis in the country. Our reckless attitude and in nits use has given rise to this scenario.We already have several water disputes involving states. In a situation all efforts should be made to conserve and preserve this invaluable resource!

Unless a mass awareness programme is launched involving all stake-holders,agitation and chest-beating won't be of any help!
Then that area does not get water from that place........
Nothing has helped...even if a lot of campaigns, national awareness programs, wide support by media....a lot of agitations.....nothing proved worth for building a new dam.....Yes, people of Kerala are in great danger!!
Hey really government has to take some serious action against it.

I agree ! unless people come together and taking the initiative nothing can really work.The other option is fr the state governments to take steps like my state Karnataka is doing and make sure that people do whatever is necessary to preserve water..
Ya both the people and the government be conscious the only it can be happen.
Government is only instrument but this is we who have to implement the rules, if we all contribute there is no reason we can not acquire the desired results.
Climatic conditions changed as the end of the summer. It is better now a days when compared one month back.
well

i am happy to share that i am working in a company that provides water conservation solutions. we have installed 449 roof top rain water harvesting structures in rural Andhra

we have also innovated pond conservation systems where the rain water in the run away catchment areas are roted to filteration systems which is then transported to single village and multi village schemes
There are some parks in Hyderabad for storing rain water. But they are not maintained correctly.
Government do everything but never maintain strightly

Not for our area, we have to go through summer season for another month or so. We may have rains after 1st week of July only.

Thats great Swetha :) ! the need of the hour for the entire country except a few patches here and there which are self sufficient in water..
The way the water level is going down even those patches would disappear soon or the way the icebergs are melting, low lying areas shall be submerged.
