State two objectives of rainwater harvesting.

State any three objectives of rainwater harvesting.

Answer 1

Two objectives of rainwater harvesting are:

• To store rainwater and to ensure water supply even during dry months or droughts.
• To recharge the underground water table.

Answer 2

Three objectives of rainwater harvesting are as follows:

1. Conserving Water: It involves collecting and storing rainwater for future use, reducing dependence on external sources.
2. Recharging Groundwater: Rainwater harvesting restores groundwater levels, prevents depletion, and maintains the water table.
3. Preventing water wastage and soil erosion: Capturing rainfall decreases surface runoff and hence prevents water waste and soil erosion.
