Executive Summary
Water scarcity is a pressing global issue exacerbated by climate change and population growth. Rainwater harvesting presents a sustainable solution to mitigate water stress by capturing and utilizing rainwater for non-potable purposes.
The “Implementing Rainwater Harvesting Systems” initiative aims to promote the adoption of rainwater harvesting systems in residential and commercial buildings. This proposal outlines the rationale, objectives, strategies, and expected outcomes of the program.
Background and Need
Freshwater resources are finite, and increasing demand poses challenges for sustainable water management. Rainwater harvesting offers a decentralized water supply solution that reduces reliance on municipal water sources and promotes resilience to droughts.
Implementing rainwater harvesting systems in buildings not only conserves water but also reduces stormwater runoff, alleviates pressure on sewage systems, and enhances water quality.
