उत्तर
‘Rainwater harvesting’ is the process of collecting and storing rainwater for future use. Rainwater can be collected in natural reservoirs or artificial tanks. Roof top harvesting is also a type of rainwater harvesting. The rainwater on the top of the building is collected and passed into the ground through pipes.

Advantages of rain water harvesting:
- It increases the ground water level
- It can be used for agriculture
- It increases the availability of water for living things.
