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